6 Wooden Toys to Buy When You First Start Out

There are many great wooden toys available that can provide children with hours of creative and imaginative play. Here are a few of my favorite:

1. Building Blocks: Wooden building blocks come in various sizes and shapes, allowing children to build towers, bridges, and other structures. They can also develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.Grimm’s Wooden Toys (Germany) and Raduga Grez (Russia) are two popular brands based in metric measurements. Lakeshore Learning and Everwood Friends are unit block styles.
2. Wooden Puzzles: Wooden puzzles come in a variety of shapes and designs, from simple jigsaw puzzles to more complex 3D puzzles (hello Lara). Puzzles help kids with problem-solving skills and spatial awareness.
3. Train Sets: Wooden train sets come with tracks and trains that can be assembled into various configurations. Brio is the de facto brand, but others also exist. Trains are a great way for kids to develop their creativity and imagination.
4. Doll houses: For girls and boys, doll houses are a great backdrop for imaginative play – creating stories from the worlds kids experience.
5. Play Kitchen: Wooden play kitchens come with stoves, ovens, and other accessories that can provide children with hours of pretend play. What’s not to love about a good ole fashioned wooden block served on a plate?
6. Push Toys: Wooden push toys, such as wagons and walkers, help toddlers develop their motor skills and coordination, as well as encourage physical activity.
