If you believe wooden toys are too old fashioned. Think again. Wooden toys are not antiquated. These types of toys have been around for centuries and have helped millions of children develop their creative skills. In many ways, wooden toys are better than plastic toys. Here are some things to consider when purchasing wooden toys:
Type of wood: The best wooden toys for toddlers and kids are made from solid wood such as alder woods and walnuts. Toys made from these types of wood are safe, especially for toddlers. Other types of wooden toys are made of composite wood like plywood. These types of toys are ideal for older kids.
Painted or non-painted: Kids love brightly colored toys. Unfortunately, some paints may contain harmful chemicals such as BPA and lead. Check the type of paint used and if not specified, contact the manufacturer for the information.
Developmental value: This factor should also influence your buying decision. Choose a wooden toy that best suits your child’s age. In this review we cover toys that are suitable for children of different ages.
