Ivar Schnell, archaeologist of the State Historical Museum, has found minfature stone objects, clearly meant as playthings for children. One of these was a tiny, but well made stone axe 2.5 cen- timeters in length, evidently fash- foned by some fond Stone Age daddy for his little boy to play with, some 4.000 years ago. Dr. Schnell found these objects during his exploration of a Stone Age settlement at Brunn not far from Stockholm. The families at Brunn established their home- steads at the end of a well-pro- tected bay with a sandy beach.
