Specialty

So what’s so special about wooden toys, especially when so many toys these days can whistle, light up, sing, and more? Simple wooden toys can help little ones learn important lessons in creativity, problem-solving, cause and effect, and more, without all of the excess flash of many poorly made plastic toys. Typically speaking, wooden toys last longer and can be passed down from generation to generation. They also help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. On top of that, they stimulate different bits of intelligence like emotional, thinking, and social skills. With wooden toys, you can’t just push a button and play the way a toy instructs you. Children have to use their imaginations to bring the toy to life. 

Not to mention that wooden toys are much better for the environment! This is due to their biodegradable nature and ability to be recycled!
