In the past, production of toys made both by folks at home or by specialist craftsmen was influenced by two main factors: an availability of easily workable materials, as well as an individual artistic feeling of their makers influenced by local aesthetic norms. Today, production of toys is being influenced by legislation and legal acts that everyone wishing to engage in their production has to know and follow. These issues were discussed with professionals coming from a wide array of state institutions.
