Children wooden toys are toys which are made using a natural product as opposed to a product like plastic which is a product that we are trying to recycle but nevertheless remains a product which costs less to produce new than to recycle. If a wooden toy is made from a sustainable forest that's even better as it is actually helping out our troubled environment. This is only one of the reasons we feel better towards wood than towards plastic. There are also many emotional reasons why wooden toys feel better.
When it comes to plastic toys and wooden toys, there is more of a chance that plastic toys will be purchased. However, consumers don't seem to consider buying a wooden toy for their child instead. In a few ways, it would be more worth the while to get. How many times have we been told that a plastic or a painted toy is safe, only to see it recalled or find out it has lead in the paint or is unsafe for any number of reasons? This holds especially true for very small children and babies. These little ones will be putting whatever they play with in their mouths. Plastics, painted toys and metals certainly are not high on the list of things you want in their mouth.

If we are considering the environment and the ultimate destination for many toys (which is landfill) then wood is clearly the better material. If we are thinking about robustness and the resilience of the material to the treatment that toys receive at the hands of their owners then both materials can perform well, depending upon the toy.
Let's think of a few differences between the two. Plastic toys can break easily and the edges could harm little children. Wooden toys, on the other hand, are more durable. If you were to stand on a toy truck made of plastic, there is a great chance that it will break, possibly leaving sharp edges that could cut your child leaving it fit only for the rubbish bin. Wooden toys on the other hand encourage your kids to use their creativity, when either they make the toys themselves or play with them. Simple activities such as making cookies at their own toy kitchen, or riding a wooden Arabian horse and so on, boost their creativity and visualization.
Wood is a natural made material which can be subjected to recycling. This means that aside from providing entertainment for your child, you can also pro actively help in preventing further degradation of the environment. Moreover, children appear to be more attached to playing with wooden toys. Wooden toys are also more durable than their plastic or metal counterparts. Thus with proper care, it is possible to make these toys last an entire childhood and maybe even hand them down to their children.
Play is an essential part of every kids learning and emotional development. Wooden toys are a sensible choice for the very young. Children wooden toys include toys such as miniature farm animal sets for infants and doll houses for young girls. Many wooden toys are also educational toys for young school children, such as puzzles, building blocks, and more. To touch and explore is often considered as one of the most important aspects of most educational programs that help a child develop different capabilities. Letting your kids play with wooden toys would unmistakably encourage them to learn by touching and exploring. Moreover, you could even purchase wooden toys and games specially meant to educate the children.
Plastic toys come in all shapes and sizes so there are bound to be lots of brightly coloured playthings that attract the attention of your child, no matter how old they are. They are durable, washable and usually pretty safe, but as with all toys there are toy safety checks to watch out for when you are buying the perfect toy for your child. You probably wonder why parents opt to offer their children the common wooden type of toys instead of the cheaper plastic toys commonly produced in China. Many consider that having plastic toys is more practical than wooden toys because of the cost factor. Although plastic toys are cheaper compared to wooden toys, long term consideration proves that the latter is better than the former.
Have you ever seen a child in a room full of the latest toys and found the child to be playing with old fashioned children wooden toys that were a big hit when you were young? What is it about this sight that is so comforting? Is it because the wooden toy makes us feel nostalgic or is there something else at play here? In our world of plastic throw-away goods it is comforting to see lasting goods lasting. It is especially comforting to see goods which are felt to be worthy enough to be passed on from generation to generation. The latest gadget or the latest toy has not made traditional wooden toys any less desirable to children, or even to adults for that matter.
Online toy stores offer a wide variety of wooden toys to choose from. And sometimes, it's easier to find what you want because modern toy stores these days mostly sell plastic toys.
