We all know that play is so important in a child’s life. It is how they learn about the world, themselves and the people around them and also assists in the development of many skills, concepts, values and attitudes. But do we ever stop to think about what our kids are using during playtime?
As a teacher of many years, I have observed first hand the many benefits of kid's wooden toys on children’s development and learning. I love kid's wooden toys! I want to share why you and your kids will fall in love with them too.
Long Life Span
They are strong and have a very long lifespan. They will endure the most enthusiastic play and because of their durability will be handed down from sibling to sibling.

Safe for Children
Wooden toys painted with non-toxic paint are safe for babies, toddlers and children. Unlike most plastic toys, wooden toys are free from BPA, phthalates and other harmful chemicals and toxins. So if your child puts a wooden toy in their mouth, you don’t need to worry. Phew!

Kind to the Environment
Wooden toys are environmentally friendly as most are made from plantation timber or ecofriendly rubber wood. Not only are they durable, which means you can keep them forever, but when the time comes and they are eventually thrown out, they will rot in landfill. Wooden toys don’t need electricity or batteries so we can look after the planet for your children’s future.
