The cool thing about Inuit toys for the kid in me are the wild animals, sled dogs, kayaks, and the thrill of the hunt where you really had to know the animals. The play is more hide and seek and escape to play another day. The Norse toys are domestic and farming. Norse toys tell of a distant place, a homeland with trees. Wood and furniture were brought to Greenland. Instead of the adventures of the hunt, Norse play is more nostalgic for a place elsewhere which may explain why they left. Theirs was more an outpost than home.
