The Dala horse has its roots in the province of Dalarna in central Sweden, where it was originally created as a toy for children. The tradition of carving wooden horses in this region dates back to the 17th century, and over time the Dala horse became a popular souvenir and gift item, as well as a symbol of Swedish culture and tradition.

Today, Dala horses are still made in Dalarna and other parts of Sweden, and they are sold all over the world as a popular souvenir and decorative item. They are also used as a symbol of Sweden in many different contexts, such as in sports teams and in tourism campaigns.
