Wooden toys - when tradition and innovation are combined

Wooden toys - when tradition and innovation are combined

The classic among the toys is certainly the wooden toy. Because they are made of wood, families have always brought a little piece of nature into their homes. But what makes wooden toys so special that they have been our children's favorite companions for generations?

Do wooden toys have a long tradition?

Even our grandparents played with wooden toys. Whether it was grandma's rocking horse, which we once marveled at in the attic, or grandpa's old wooden train set - none of these oldies have gone out of fashion. That's what makes wooden toys so special: tried-and-tested games can be taken over by new suppliers and enhanced by carefully selected wooden materials or innovative colors, for example. This makes wooden toys a play companion that can be passed down through generations and provide fun and enjoyment beyond your children.

Why are wooden toys sustainable?

Wooden toys are particularly characterized by their naturalness. Particularly in this day and age, when the topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly relevant, the need of parents to introduce their children to environmentally conscious consumer behavior is also growing. This is why they are increasingly opting for wooden toys. As a renewable raw material that is harmless to health, for example because it does not require harmful plasticizers, is highly durable, and offers an uncomplicated, environmentally friendly way to dispose of old toys, wooden toys have always competed with plastic toys.

How can I recognize sustainable wooden toys?

In our store, you can recognize wooden toys that have been made from sustainable resources by the designated FSC seal. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council and is a certification system for sustainable forest management. Only products that come entirely from FSC-certified forests receive this seal. Brands like KidsConcept, Wooden Story or GRIMM'S have made it their business to produce sustainable wooden toys and we are proud to welcome their FSC certified products in our store.

Why should I choose wooden toys when buying?

Wooden toys are characterized by high durability. Unlike the big competitor plastic toys, wood is much more durable, robust and thus also much longer lasting. Wooden toys can confidently fall to the floor without breaking or shattering into their individual parts - they are virtually indestructible. Of course, this also ensures less risk of injury, which is what makes wooden toys so attractive to use with babies and toddlers. Wooden toys are easy to clean, so it's no problem to take them outside to the garden, kindergarten or playground.

For which age groups are wooden toys suitable?

Wooden toys offer a wide range of high-quality products for babies and (small) children. Thus, it already stimulates the creativity of the youngest, but also convinces the older with its timeless material. For babies, you will find in our store, in addition to grips and teething rings, motor skills loops that promote the motor skills of your child and much more!
