Little People - Classic Toy Series Traditional Cache

This cache is part of a series on classic toys that originated no later than the 1970's. Most will have originated earlier, much earlier. I wanted to bring a little history behind these toys in the cache page and a little fun in the cache.

The first appearance of Little People was in 1950, when Fisher-Price designed a firetruck with three round headed firefighters affixed to the top.

In 1959 the first removable Little People were released in a school bus play set.




The body of the Little Person went through a number of shape and material changes from '59 to '65, until they finally settled upon the plastic wide body, narrow peg base that is most commonly associated with Little People.




They have gone on to populate toy farms, castles and even airports. But it wasn't until the 1970s that a black figure was introduced.

Today, Little People continue to be enriching the lives of young families, and bringing joy to generations.

The cache location has been approved by Brian Russart of the Milwaukee County Department of Parks. Permit # 504
