In the 1860's toys where not as big and showy as they are now. they where very light hearted and simple but would still entertain the kids who had fun playing with them. Toys like the rocking horse were very simple in design providing only one thing which was to rock back and forth. The toy ark on the following picture is simple in design as well since it really doesn't do anything however it seemed to be a good way to educate kids back then about Noah's ark which is a fundamental Bible story. simple small rolling toys like the train seem simple now a days but where very popular amongst boys back in the 1860's.  

        The crank carousel is not to weird as there are many modern counterparts but basically it is really used by just cranking the lever until it starts moving around and maybe making some music which was really a basic form of amusement for kids in the 19th century.  The cat toy was a simple wooden toy that seem to have something in between it that made a sound when pushed. The Cradle seemed to be made for dolls since its unlikely to be made for an actual baby. The Dog toy seemed to be made and work the same way as the cat toy did. 

       The doll was a main toy little girls played with and seemed to be made out of wood all around with a simple dress as a cover. The Doll that follows the first doll seem to be a more elegant doll that was most likely reserved for wealthier families with little girls. The Duck toy worked and was made in the same way as the cat and dog toys were where you pressed on it and made a noise. The farm set was basically just a set of farm animals with a farm house included it like a lego set but with out the building aspect it was more of a toy for the imagination.
