Play is important as it develops a range of different qualities; interacting with others during play is one of the main ways our children can develop their social skills. With all this being said there are particular types of toys that encourage all of this.
For many people, wooden toys create a wonderful sense of nostalgia. Parents and grandparents take great joy in introducing younger generations to the same kind of toys that they played with during their childhood. For others, they make ideal gifts, simply because of their innocent charm that is lacking from many of the high-tech, plastic toys that are popular today.
Wooden toys are an amazing for developing many skills for your children. Also they are practical, easy to clean, no chemicals made to make them and will last a lot longer than their plastic counterparts. Have you ever bought a plastic toy for your child one week and found it has already broken the next? They are also hypo allergenic for any of you with particularly sensitive little people out there.
When your kids are particularly young you
should try and get your hands on some wooden blocks for them to play with. This
helps to develop their imagination and creativity as they can make whatever
they wish. Other toys that would ideal for younger children would be the
numbered blocks which help develop numeracy skills. There are also toys which
help your children learn the names of animals etc. The list of educational toys
is endless. Like wooden puzzle toys, wooden building blocks, wooden toy castle, wooden toy cars, and lots of educational toys.
That isn`t to say that the only toys available are for younger children there are wooden toys for a range of ages. You may want to buy your child a wooden bike; they are a great way to get your children out into the garden to get some exercise. Instead of having them sat inside staring at a T.V screen. Buying something like this will keep them active and they can have hours of fun.
There are plenty of educational wooden toys out there for your children to experience. It is just a case of doing your research and finding the perfect ones. You will find that wooden toys are an excellent source of education in different ways to plastic toys. The more modern plastic toys will come complete with flashing lights and noisy distractions which do not really teach your children as much. Also I have found through experience that these kinds of toys are often just exclusive to one child and do not encourage play with others.
Overall wooden toys can be fun, educational and encourage creativity within your child. There is nothing wrong with them being exposed to technology but for the early years of their lives it is important for them to develop their own skills and forge their own personality.
