From an early age children play at being miniature versions of adults by using toys that imitate the tools of the adult world or by dressing up as adults. Through this type of activity, they develop different social skills and also learn about the real world. Dressing up and playing at being a bus conductor would have reflected the child's own experience of public transport travel during the 1960s.
