Wood being highly durable, means we don’t need to buy as many toys when they last longer.
Our eco-friendly wooden toys don’t contain PVC, phthalates, or similar chemicals used in plastic toys.
3. Encourage sensorial exploration
Wooden toys have high sensorial value for children. Wood warms to the touch and cools in the air – unlike plastic – which stays roughly the same temperature. The feel and weight also change as the size of the object changes, because of its density.
Children experience this shift in perspective and dimension in a tactile way and absorb what this means as they explore toys of varying shape and size.
4. Encourage use of the imagination
Wooden toys tend to be simple; free from the distractions that a lot of plastic toys have. Because of this, children have to use their imagination as to what they do with it.
Children are encouraged to interact with wooden toys. For example, they may make the sound effects instead of the toy defining how it should be played with.
5. Safe
Plastic toys may go brittle and snap or chip leaving sharp dangerous edges.
Wooden toys don't contain PVC, phthalates, or similar chemicals used in plastic toys.
Wood also has natural antibacterial qualities which means they are less affected by germs than plastic toys.
6. Never go out of style
Wooden toys are beautiful and natural. The grain adds natural patterns to the toys, and children absorb this organic effect.
