A broken toy is an item designed for play that has sustained damage, rendering it unusable or less functional. Common issues include missing parts, cracks, or mechanical failures. Toys can be made from various materials, such as plastic, wood, or fabric, and their durability often depends on the quality of construction. When a toy is broken, it may no longer provide the intended enjoyment or educational value. Parents or caregivers often decide whether to repair the toy, recycle it, or replace it with a new one. Some children may also feel attached to their broken toys, leading to emotional responses.
