Historical figures' first toys

On Wednesday on East Coast Breakfast we told you about the first toys that were enjoyed by Good Guy Gabe, Nararah from Afara - and me.

It got me to thinking; is there a link to who you become as an adult based on the toys you had as a kid? 

So I trawled the inter-web for details on some of my favourite historical figures to see if there was anything to this theory. 

I wasn't able to glean anything significant but it was fascinating none the less. 

Here is the list of historical people and what their first toy was...

 

 

Einstein: compass

Madela: slingshot

Neil Armstrong: toy plane

Helen Suzman: toy cows

Steve Jobs: transistor radio

Louis Pasteur: sketching and painting

Joan of Arc

Leo da Vinci: Lyre

Napolean: small brass canon

Abraham Lincoln: wagon

Marie Curie: Memory games
