Q. In Harappan civilization, The toys were made of ___

Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

In the Harappan civilization (c. 2600–1900 BCE), toys were primarily made of terracotta (baked clay) because it was easily available and moldable. Harappan craftsmen created a variety of toys, including:

Animal figurines (bulls, elephants, and birds)

Cart models with movable wheels

Whistles and rattles

Human figurines, possibly representing deities or everyday people


These toys suggest that the Harappan people valued recreation and that their children engaged in play, much like modern societies. Iron was not yet discovered during the Harappan period, and while bronze and stone were used for tools and sculptures, terracotta was the preferred material for toys due to its ease of shaping and baking.

Thus, the correct answer is:
(D) Terracotta.
