Céčka (English: C's) (singular céčko) were plastic toys from Czechoslovakia popular in the 1980s and 90s, formerly used as parts of door hangings.[1]

History

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.[6]
