As a new mama, I was super strict about not having toys that were plastic or required batteries in our home. You know, those mums at the playground? Who only buy toys made of wood, all locally sourced and colored with organic plant dyes. Umm that's me at heart. Now the days of niave new parenting have come and gone but I still have ideals. When it comes to toys for little ones, I think simplicity is the way to go. There's something about a toy that was designed and built with true craftsmanship that makes you appreciate it so much more. And I find that the less the toy does for itself, the more imagination it inspires in children.
Today, I'm sharing a list of some of my favorite wooden toys for little ones. The great thing about these is most of them can be enjoyed by children of all different ages. There truly is something timeless about wooden toys. Enjoy!
