Farms
In the 60s the agricultural sector developed as did the toy tractors and farm related all kind of toy machines which appeared in the shops.
Everywhere children encounter animals, in books or at a petting Zoo. Sets of farm animals as cows, horses, sheep etc are in the shops as well.

The first series toy farms Rokus and Corry date from 1967-68. They were designs made for V&D. Within a few years the collection grew and was produced in large numbers for the inner market as well as the export.
