Besides the nostalgia that many of us get from wooden toys, these solid make believe play enhancements are quality toys the inspire children’s imaginations. Pretend play helps children develop language, creative, and problem solving skills. Vivid imaginations are often found in children with high intelligence.
Many wooden toys are handcrafted and made of much stronger material than plastic. Thus, toys such as wooden blocks, kids’ furniture, and dollhouses tend to last longer.
Wooden toys add value. We buy toys for our children to entertain them and for them to learn. Wooden toys foster open ended play. This means that auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learners can use their imagination to play with a toy in any way that their imagination, voice, eyes, and hands lead. Children have to actively use their minds to play. This creativity builds problem solving skills. Many toys require batteries, not wooden toys. As a bonus feature, for the environmentally conscious, wooden toys tend to be environmentally friendly. They last a long long time. When they are discarded, they will decompose.
