It is not for nothing that the 21st century is called the century of plastics, chemistry and polymers. Numerous children's goods stores are bursting with an abundance of entertaining plastic toys - poisonously bright, juicy and thus so attractive to children's inexperienced eyes. However, the quality of these “children’s joys” is often low: when opening the colorful packaging, the acrid smell of plastic hits the nose; the material of the toy is toxic and causes allergic reactions in children. And not all parents realize asking for a certificate. Manufacturers of children's products have solved this problem. They encourage caring parents to “go back to basics” by purchasing wooden toys for their children.
From time immemorial, wood has been a sought-after material: dishes, weapons, household items and, of course, toys were made from it! This is no coincidence, because wood is a natural and environmentally friendly material. There is a feeling of lively energy and warmth in it. Our ancestors saw in him a source of spiritual kindness, strength, knowledge and psychological balance. And if earlier the toy was often mediocre and roughly made (especially in poor peasant families), now manufacturers offer a wide range of wooden toys: from rattles to entire kitchen sets. 
The advantages of toys made from natural materials and their benefits for the baby
Children are little explorers who explore this world with the help of their organs of vision and smell, tactile perception and taste buds, trying everything by heart. Therefore, it is so important to introduce the baby to reliable and complete information about the world: so that the child’s hand can feel the heaviness of a wooden cube, its texture, so that the child’s nose can catch the unique woody aroma emanating from it. In addition, wooden toys have many more advantages:
- environmental friendliness - goes hand in hand with safety, because natural materials guarantee the absence of allergies and poisoning.
- durability - makes it possible to make a toy a family heirloom, passing it on from the older generation to the younger, and forms a positive attitude towards family values.
- naturalness – has a beneficial effect on children psycho-emotional state, makes it possible to obtain true information about the world around us.
- minimalism and simplicity - allows you to develop imagination, because the simpler the design of the toy, the more creativity children use during the game.
How to choose a wooden toy
The choice of a wooden toy, in principle, like any other, should be approached wisely. So, what should you consider when buying a gift for your baby?
Coating
Wooden toys are:
- painted;
- unpainted;
- varnished.
The advantages of painted toys include:
- brightness, which allows you to attract the baby’s attention and concentrate on it;
- wide range color solutions, allowing you to learn colors;
- a wide variety of game scenarios that promote the manifestation of creative imagination.
Significant disadvantages of this type of coating include the risk of paint peeling off and entering the child’s body.
Lacquered wooden toys have an attractive appearance and smooth surface. 
Unpainted toys are the safest. They open up a lot of imagination for children, because they can be painted according to their own design. However, with this toy game scenarios limited.
Age
Guided by reason, it is worth selecting wooden toys in accordance with the age of the baby and his mental and physical development.
Let's consider the most suitable, safe and original models of wooden toys for all ages from manufacturers who are responsible for the quality of their products. 
From 0 to 1 year: choose in stages
Children in the first year of life develop rapidly: just yesterday they were lying down, and today they are already turning over, crawling and sitting. Therefore, toys need to be purchased gradually. Of course, many of the following models should be used much later than one year of age, however, reasonable parental supervision is necessary in all:
- it is more profitable to buy “growing” toys that will be useful to children at any age;
- It is better to play together with children under one year old, especially when the toy has many small parts.
By observing these simple rules, you can save money and take due care of your baby’s health.

Tree - environmentally friendly material. After the life of a wooden toy has expired, it can be naturally recycled (if you put it in the ground, it will again become part of nature and will not cause harm to the environment).
Tree - safe material. The baby can put the toy in his mouth without any risk of being poisoned by poorly painted plastic. Wooden rattles are made from natural natural material, in contrast to toxically dangerous cheap plastic toys, which sometimes harm a child’s health. High-quality wooden toys are always well sanded, this helps to avoid splinters or scratches.
Tree - natural material soaked in the sun. A wooden toy is a continuation of nature in the hands of a child. Having been saturated with solar energy, the tree transmits it through touches to the very heart. The tactile impressions that children receive while playing with wooden toys contribute to the development of fine motor skills, creative thinking and fantasies.
By the tree - nice smell and color, which has a positive effect on nervous system child. Unlike the acidic colors of plastic toys, unpainted wood is calming to babies.
Wood is a material that does not cause allergies. It is important to pay attention to the paint used on wooden toys. Ideally it should be food coloring. Paint and varnish should not contain formaldehyde or other toxic impurities.
Wood is very strong and durable material. Such toys do not tear, do not break and do not lose their shape. Over time, unpainted toys may become dark or scratched. This will only add value to them.
Wood is a material that has its own weight. Take a plastic toy in one hand. The other one is wooden. Do you feel it? Playing with wooden toys is a very important experience interaction with the world of real things. Many children now spend all their time watching cartoons or playing games on tablets and phones. Interactive images on the screen give you a sense of communication with a bright, dynamic and exciting reality. But this is an illusion that can slow down the development process. In this case, wooden toys will help restore a sense of reality.
The tree is traditional material. In almost all traditional cultures, toys have always been made from wood. And not only because in ancient times there were no other materials available. People have always understood that a tree carries a special energy, passes it on from generation to generation and instills in a child respect for folk culture.
Wooden Toys not overloaded with functions. Due to the ease of working with plastic, plastic toys are equipped with different functions, sounds, and signal lights. This kind of hyperfunctionality is detrimental to the game. The child’s attention is scattered, he is distracted by one thing or another and quickly loses interest in the toy. At first glance, simple wooden toys actually awaken children's imagination and provide a wide field for different games.
French philosopher Roland Barthes called plastic and metal “ugly, graceless” and “chemical” materials. He said that wood “is a familiar, native and poetic material.”
Nowadays, more and more brands are releasing quality wooden toys, and not only philosophers can appreciate everything useful qualities tree. By touching wooden toys and participating in children's games, we ourselves can become closer to nature and feel the energy of the sun living in every wooden cube.

PECULIARITIES! Teach your child careful attitude to toys.
- Balance.
If you haven't bought a balancer for your baby yet, be sure to buy one. Perhaps you yourself will be captivated by this simple thing, like a child. A balance beam is a structure consisting of a base and several small objects that should be placed together so that they do not lose balance and fall. In addition, after all the elements are collected, the balancer will begin to sway. The toy develops dexterity and coordination of movement.
In addition to the above items, children's products such as dolls, cars, trains, puzzles, puzzles, labyrinths, lacing, sorters, decorative elements in the form of night lights and clocks and much, much more. Don’t rush to buy another plastic trinket; it’s better to spend a little more money and buy something that’s really worthwhile.
