Céčka ( [t͡sɛːt͡ʃka]; English: C's; singular céčko) were plastic toys from Czechoslovakia popular in the 1980s and 90s, formerly used as parts of door hangings. [1]
The initial intention was to use Céčka as buckles for women's clothing, but it was a failure. [2] The next attempt was to use them as parts of door hangings, but this did not succeed either. [2] The real interest, which was born among the Czechoslovak children, set off Céčková horečka (Céčka fever). [3] From 1984, Céčka became scarce materials of considerable value (for children) almost instantly. [4] The basic shape is a letter C. [5]
Plastic parts can be chained, and they were also used in several games, for instance, one similar in principle to pitching pennies. [4] It also inspired Michal David's song Céčka, sbírá céčka (C's, she collects C's). [1] Céčka are also mentioned twice in the song Pochodové cvičení by Czech singer and songwriter Slávek Janoušek.
