The Benefits Of Playing With Wooden Toys

 The Benefits Of Playing With Wooden Toys

With each day that passes, more and more imaginative toys are being put on the market with more and more elaborate functions

. Thee are baby-dolls with realistic bodily functions (too much information!), trucks that not only talk but move by themselves via sensors and pets that function as virtual online toys as well as cuddly critters. Yet do you remember the simpler days, when beautifully-crafted, brightly-painted wooden toys were capable of inspiring magic and wonder in the mind of a child? When a much-loved wooden wagon would see a child through several birthdays and christmases, never losing its position as the number one favourite? Theres been a resurgence in recent years of the popularity of wooden toys, and here are three reasons why you should consider a wooden toy as your next purchase

Imagination

Because a wooden toy usually doesnt have the bells and whistles of a more modern synthetic toy, its not able to move, talk, play music or make you a sushi-roll by itself, like some of its plastic counterparts. (OK, I may have been exaggerating with the sushi-roll bit, but still!). Yet the wooden toys lack of ability to move without aid is not necessarily a tick against it. Toys are one of the first tools with which a child learns, and further on, are the main channel through which they develop and nurture their imagination. If a toy doesnt move by itself, guess what? Your child must interact with it more, which in turn increases and boosts creativity and helps your child learn.

Durability

I still remember the feel of my favourite wooden toy from when I was a child. Weighty, smooth and solid, it was something that outlasted all of my plastic and soft toys. A wooden toy is far less likely to crack or break when dropped from a moving pram, which anyone with a child will recognise as a highly likely scenario.

Sustainability

Because wooden toys are more durable, it means there are less of them being thrown out and replaced, making them a more sustainable choice from the start. Wood, while harvested from trees, is far, far more sustainable and eco-friendly than plastic or other synthetic materials, and there are a range of toys available that are made from recycled wood.

Education

Some of the most educational toys are traditionally made of wood. Remember the wooden abacus that used to take pride of place in your family doctors office? what about counting and building blocks? These old classics are perfect for your childs development, and bridge the gap between toys and learning tools.

Next time youre thinking of purchasing a toy for your child or a child you know, consider one made of wood. The benefits to their education, imagination and the environment make them the perfect multi-functional gift.
