This article considers the educational value of toys. Folk toys are, on the one hand, a model, an outline of life, on the other – a source of joy, cheerfulness, well-being. The role of folk toys in the moral and aesthetic education was justified and analyzed. Folk toy is one of the most effective means of aesthetic, physical and mental development of children. The selection of folk toys, which should be based on age peculiarities of the child was discovered. The main functions of folk toys were characterized.

The use of folk toys in kindergarten, in the family, diversifies the gaming activities of children, help them to enrich, expand the world cognition and its people, develop its classical skills for national, economic and social culture.

Formation of knowledge about the folk toy is based on the perception of children’s cognitive, aesthetic, moral, emotional content, an adequate understanding of its cultural and historical significance.

Toys are a special type of artistic creation that integrates various types of folk art, combining the material and spiritual achievements of the Ukrainian culture, contributes to the formation of creatively active person, successor of folk traditions.
