I think Egyptian toys are some of the easiest to find. Many are made as historical toys, but can be used for your spiritual and religious teachings as well.

If you are a pagan, then you know the importance dressing the part can be, here are some costumes, mostly based on romantic ideas of Cleopatra, but still useful nonetheless.
