These colorful wooden toys, which originated in the Lviv oblast town of Yavoriv and neighboring villages, are meant to entertain, amuse, and to pacify.

While the first records of these toys date back to the 17th century, the toys gained popularity in the 18th century, becoming a form of woodworking art in the late 19th century. Most of the toys, such as birds, walking couples, carts, rattles, and horses, can move and make a sound.
