Looking for a special kids gift? Wooden toys are a great option for kids everyday play.
They’re sturdy, easy to store, and inspire creative play with a natural material. The natural wood is a great alternative to other choices made with plastic and synthetic materials.
I love using natural materials as much as possible in kids play, like this activity making letters of the alphabet with twigs.
I’m excited to share ideas for wooden toys you can make yourself, along with store-bought wooden toys with awesome play value. I’ve chosen toys I’ve used with preschoolers, as well as a few I wish I had!
The toys contribute to early learning by inspiring pretend play, and engaging fine motor, cognitive, math and sensory skills and more! Paint tools, puzzles and even pull toys are all available made with wood.
While this wish list is far from complete, I hope it provides some inspiration for choosing wood toys for your early learner.
