They did not have toys
In Colonial times, children didn't have electronic toys, or factories to make their toys. Many children or their parents made their toys out of scraps and things that were not needed. Little girls in Colonial times made their dolls out of corn husks, rags, scraps, and sometimes carved, dried apples as heads. The boys used sticks as imaginary horses. Children enjoyed spinning tops made of leftover wood and string.
Daily life in the Middle Colonies had a lot of activities going on. Such as the children often played, tag, marbles, hopscotch,hide and seek, etc. Except they didn't usually have toys, so when it was cold outside they made toys of their own. The olden days weren't like they are today... :) Hope that helped (:
In 1860, children engaged in a variety of outdoor activities for fun, such as playing games like tag, marbles, and hopscotch. They often participated in sports like baseball and swimming, while also enjoying simpler pastimes like riding bicycles or playing with homemade toys. Imagination played a crucial role, as many children created their own games and stories, sometimes using natural materials for play. Additionally, reading and storytelling were popular entertainment options, particularly in families with access to books.
Children did not have Nintendo, TV, or many books to read, so they often created their own games. They spent so much time in the schoolroom and doing chores that outdoor games were most appealing to them. One popular outdoor game was rolling the hoop. Taking a big wooden hoop, the children would race each other from one point to another on the lawn. The object of the game was to see who could get to the finishing point fastest. It sounds like an easy game, but the hoop was difficult to roll. Another fun game was nine pins, which is similar to bowling. Nine pins would be placed three in a row on the lawn and th eobject was to knock down all nine pins with a ball. The slope of the lawn made the game tricky. Children had sack races and played tag, quoits, marbles, hopscotch, leapfrog, and Blindman?s Buff. They flew kites and went fishing and swimming. Even simple activities like swinging or taking a walk were enjoyed if they had friend to accompany them. If the weather was bad, children often played with simple wooden toys like spinning tops and whirligigs, read, and embroidered samplers.
The same toys that American children play with.

Colonial children, boys and girls played some of the same games that children of today play. These games included hopscotch, leapfrog, London Bridge, hide and seek, prisoner's base, and blindman's bluff. Colonial toys included balls, dolls, marbles, kites, tops, rolling hoops, and jump ropes. Most toys were homemade, but children from rich families had doll tea sets or toy soldiers that were imported from England.
