Indus Valley Clay Toys

The animal figurines recovered from the IV sites are of rough workmanship and careless in details. They have a definite childlike air. They might have been made by adults for children to play. Remember Harappan people would have probably been homeschoolers. And like us, they would have scratched their heads, trying to figure out how to entertain their kids. So they might have thought of making these animal figurines to act out popular tales and mythological stories. Do you know what?? Don't tell this to your history teacher. He won't get impressed!!
