I frequently "played" with the following "toys" during my youth:
slingshots, fire crackers, cherry bombs, smoke bombs, bottle rockets, darts, lawn darts, bow and arrows, cap guns, toy guns, BB guns, water pistols, bubble pipes, candy cigarettes, bubblegum cigars, coffee candy, chemistry sets, pure mercury, atomic energy sets, creepy crawlers, etc.
...and lots of tools:
hammers, nails, screws, staples, hand saws, electric saws, electric drills, wire cutters, metal snips, scissors, hatchets, axes, knives, gas/propane/electric stoves/lanterns, matches, cigarette lighters, magnifying glasses, wood burning kits, soldering irons, steam irons, boiling water, ice picks, etc.
...and I haven't even covered any of the dangerous activities I did.
Ask me if I survived
