Toy weapons are play items designed to resemble real weapons but are made from safe materials like plastic or foam. They are often used in children's games and imaginative play, allowing kids to engage in pretend battles or role-playing scenarios. Common examples include toy guns, swords, and bows and arrows. These toys are popular among various age groups and can be found in many forms, from simple replicas to more elaborate designs with sound effects. While they can encourage creativity and social interaction, parents often consider safety and age-appropriateness when choosing toy weapons for their children.
