Why Wooden Toys?
- BEST FOR DEVELOPMENT: According to leading educational experts, solid, simple toys (such as many wooden toys) are consistently shown to be the best for children’s development. While many modern toys “spoon feed” entertainment to children without enhancing their individual skills, more simple ‘open ended’ toys, leave lots of room for imagination, creativity and personal development.
- EDUCATIONAL GROWTH: Many wooden toys , also have an educational component – they are not purely for entertainment or distraction. Young children have the chance to develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination.
- SAFETY: There is growing concern over the toxicity of the plastics used to make toys. PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is environmentally toxic to produce and contains chemicals (adipates and phthalates) that can leach into foods and, of course, into your child or baby’s mouth. These have been linked to serious medical problems including cancer, hormonal disruptions and more.
- Safety tested and accredited, wooden toys with non-toxic paints (such as all those sold at KindtoKidz), offer a safer alternative. For babies who put everything in their mouth, we recommend natural (unpainted) wood toys.
- ENVIRONMENT: Every toy has a life cycle, and when its time is up it usually ends up in the landfill. More and more evidence points to the environmental toxicity of plastics as they release harmful toxins into the environment. Wooden toys are most often made from renewable sources such as tree farms, which have far less environmental impact than plastic. At KindtoKidz we also have a range of certified eco-friendly wooden toys, which means they have the FSC stamp that they have been produced from sustainable foresty sources.
- AS NATURE INTENDED: Wooden toys are closer to nature and help develop children's awareness and connection with the natural world. This helps balance the fast passed, pressurised ethos of modern living.
