Abstract

Following a brief historical review of the populations inhabiting the Bulgarian lands, the archaeological documents, related to the rearing of children, are discussed. The various objects discovered date back mainly to the time of the slavesystem period. Some of the dishes for feeding children are also described (such as gutus, strainders, pots), clothing and ornaments, toys (ponny-carts, terracota-animals) and other objects found in children's tombs. Finally, a report is made on the special workshops, established throughout the country, for the manufacturing of toys for children.
