    • Abstract:
      The article discusses research by archaeologist Felix Riede at Aarhus University in Denmark which suggests that skills required for technological innovation in prehistoric times were honed through play and that children naturally experimented with objects around them, leading to inventions such as the wheel and projectile weapons having their roots in children's toys.
