This includes traditional and modern toys designed to offer educational and play benefits. Wooden toys have been around for centuries and have never really gone out of fashion. Eco Friendly In recent times childrens wooden toys have become more popular for a very modern reason. Wooden toys that are made from sustainably sourced wood are one of the most eco-friendly choices when it comes to children’s play equipment. • any modern toys are made from plastic and other unsustainable materials. These can be harmful to the environment and can contribute to landfill. • Plastic toys are also difficult to repair if they have been damaged. This means that many toys are simply thrown away once they have been used and this contributes to landfill waste. • Childrens wooden toys are long lasting and can be repaired in many cases. Lots of toys are handed down through families and this makes them much less wasteful. • Many childrens wooden toys are made from reclaimed wood. This has been saved from going to landfill and reused. • Wooden toys are biodegradable. This means if they do end up in landfill then they will break down and the natural substances will return to the ecosystem. Educational Toys There are many educational wooden toys available for children. These can range from jigsaws and puzzles through to board games and musical instruments. This can bring a new level to children’s play and can make learning fun. Wooden toys can offer education benefits including: • Encourage creative and imaginative play. • Develop problem solving and team working skills. • Develop spatial awareness skills. • Enhance shape and colour recognition for babies and very young children. • Develop motor skills and hand-to-eye coordination. For example a child learning how to construct simple shapes with wooden building blocks will develop balance, shape recognition and motor skills as they play. Combining this with a wooden cart in which they can push their building blocks around can also assist with learning to walk and improve spatial awareness. Play Toys There are many great childrens wooden toys available for play. These can help entertain children and keep them interested and amused. There are so many great fun wooden toys available including trikes and ride-ons, train sets, dolls houses and more. • Wooden toys are lots of fun and can keep children happy for hours. • These toys are robust so they will stand up to vigorous play well and so offer good value for money for parents. • Modern toys can often be noisy and over stimulating. This can encourage loud and overzealous play. • Wooden toys encourage meaningful play that will entertain children without disturbing other members of the household. • The natural textures of wood toys stimulate the senses without over-exciting them.
