Mechanical wind-up toys made of tin: the drummer monkey and his bird can make quite a bit of noise. Historical toys, as is the rocking elephant, 2015

There's a story that goes with this particular rocking horse: it was given to Prince George by the Obamas during their visit for the Queen's 90th. (The horse will go back and forth - note the miniature polo stick!)

Belgium 1967, detail from Bruegel's Children's Games.

I see blind man's bluff, tug of war on "horseback", leapfrog, riding on a barrel, rolling a hoop (partial), being swung by adults in a seat of crossed arms plus things I don't recognize. I also see the issue has left out the more dangerous and gross games found in the original painting.

The Swedish Dalahest is well known the world over as a sturdy toy or just a decorative collectible - they come in all sizes and copies of antique models have become very popular.

The collection of beach playthings are shown in front of the Tower of Refuge in Douglas Harbor at the coast of Man. It dates from the 1830s and has withstood all storms since then. The odd thing with the picture on the stamp is that the view appears to be from the sea side and not from the beach side; the photo is from the beach side.
