Toy cars have been popular play things as well as collectibles for many years. The first toy cars were made of wood and began being produced in the late 1700s according to drivesteady.com. As technology improved, toy makers began to make the cars out of metal.
In 1968, Mattel introduced its first Hot Wheels cars, a line of 16 different fantasy custom die cast cars. Over the past 44 years the company has created hundreds of different cars, some of which are highly collectible.
Toy cars offer children an opportunity to use fine motor skills, be creative and mimic adult "driving". They make a great gift for girls and boys of all ages. Small cars such as Hot Wheels are not recommended for children under the age of 3 due to their small parts.
