Q: Is there a quintessential Chinese children toy?

What toy would all Chinese children have had as toddlers ? Is there such a thing? (perhaps disregard the last couple of years as it seems all kids have small electric cars they learn how not to drive in)

Yoyo's and Slingshots *were* very Chinese. Maybe not invented by China, but popular enough to say that if you grew up in China, you'll know how to use these. Soon to be replaced by "dad's secondhand iPhone", the newest quintessential Chinese toy.

Oh wait, dad sold it for a little bit of cash, and people hate old things...

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
