Benefits of Baby Toys Out of Wood

There’s no denying that many baby toys made from wood are far superior to mass-produced plastic toys; from safety to development, there are numerous benefits you and your baby can enjoy from playing with these toys. Here are just a few benefits.

  • Long-lasting. Plastic toys are often flimsy and break easier than wooden ones, making them a better choice for parents who want their child’s toys to last longer, saving money in the long run.
  • Safer. As wooden toys are made from natural products, you won’t have to worry about your child being exposed to toxic chemicals often found in the products used to make plastic toys.
  • Assists with development. Wooden toys are made in different shapes and sizes, which assists with your child’s development as they feel the various edges.

Tips for Buying Baby Toys Wooden

While you’re browsing our store for baby toys, our wooden toys, such as the Kaper Kidz Jointed Worm, are suitable for your tiny tot. Here are some tips for you to consider while you’re shopping.

  • Safety first. When you’re browsing the various wooden toys, be sure to read the descriptions. We ensure to indicate whether the toy is appropriate for your child’s age and indicate if the toy can be a choking hazard for younger children.
  • Noise matters. Babies love to hear new sounds, and there are many wooden toys available that make various sounds to stimulate your baby’s hearing. You can choose from wooden rattles to xylophones I’m Toy – Cow Xylophone.
  • Eco-friendly. Many wooden toys are made to be eco-friendly. Unlike plastic toys, when the wooden toy has provided fun to the point where it’s time to get rid of it, the wood will degrade and be absorbed into the earth instead of becoming another pollutant. Wooden toys are also safer for babies to play with as they put everything in their mouths.
