Guys. Here are a few points I have found regarding the advantages of using wooden toys over plastic toys - RB

1. Safety

One of the biggest concerns around choosing plastic toys is that they easily break, thus leaving sharp edges that may harm your child. Normally, wooden toys are more durable.

Wooden toys are a better option for infants as well. Since they often stick toys in their mouth, wood is indeed a safer alternative to plastic or metal. Therefore, if you are worried about the safety of your child each time they play with their toys, it is a better option for you to give them high-quality wooden toys.

2. Durability

Apart from being robust, wood is a resilient material. It has a long lifespan so it can be passed on to younger siblings, relatives or friends. It may even become a family heirloom.

Wooden toys are known to have a long life and are unlikely to break after weeks. Thus, you will certainly get good value and life out of these excellent toys.

3. Encourages Imaginative Play

There are plenty of wooden toys that help encourage imaginative play. For instance, your child can make their own delectable food and beverages at their pretend kitchen to serve to the family. Or perhaps they could sell some groceries at their pretend store with their wooden cash register. Activities like these will inspire your little ones to role play. Also, it allows them to engage in meaningful activities that will help prepare them for the future.

4. Helps Build Problem-Solving and Reasoning Skills

Wooden toys do not have electronic parts or voice commands that will instruct your child on what to do. Thus, this allows them to use their own reasoning skills when deciding which activities they should undertake using that certain toy. Things like puzzles or blocks will also help them in developing their problem-solving skills.

5. Tactile And Strength Building

Since wooden toys are heavier in comparison to plastic ones, it enables your child to become more aware of what their hands are doing. This is beneficial for children with delayed development of fine motor skills or those with sensory disorders.

6. Aesthetically Appealing

Classic wooden toys have a timeless look and feel. Most have simple designs that allow your child to fill in the details using their imagination. Some wooden toys are also based on famous characters from video games to cartoons which keep them from being perceived as old-fashioned.

7. Educational

Classic wooden alphabet sets, bead sets, puzzles, and slates are just as educational as their electronic counterparts without the need for expensive batteries. Also, your child will enjoy the added benefit of having to exercise their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills with these traditional types instead of pressing buttons.

8. Eco-Friendly

Eventually, most of your child’s toys will end up in the environment. Remember that wood is biodegradable but plastic is not. Instead of filling the landfills with unnatural, man-made products, you can buy toys for your child that will give back to the environment. Wood is recyclable as well. Each time you give your child high-quality wooden toys, you also consider the future of the environment.
