Wooden toys

From ancient civilizations to today, most children played with whatever they could find, like sticks and stones. Ancient toys unearthed from past civilizations include small carts, bird-shaped whistles, or toys that could slide down a string. From the Egyptians to the ancient Greeks and Romans, children used sticks, bows and arrows, or the famous yo-yo. The oldest known mechanical puzzle also came from Greece, consisting of a square divided into 14 parts, designed to create different shapes with these pieces. The earliest toys were made from materials found in nature, such as stone, sticks, wood, and clay. That's why a wooden toy is so magical; it's sustainable and can be used for years.

How can our children play with the same toys as before, and with such simple toys, enhance their intellectual development? It can further boost their intelligence. Toys, much like play itself, are versatile, providing entertainment while serving an educational role. Wooden toys enhance cognitive behavior and stimulate creativity. They also promote the development of essential physical and mental life skills. Did you know that one of the simplest toys, a set of natural wooden blocks, is considered a STEM toy and one of the best for developing the brain? STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, as these skills are crucial in a child's learning process. It helps develop hand-eye coordination, math, and science skills, and also encourages creativity. Other toys like marbles, Jackstones, and balls have similar functions in child development, allowing children to use their minds and bodies to learn spatial relationships, cause and effect, and various other fine motor skills. It has been proven how these wooden toys positively impact our children's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Wooden baby toys can also use unique sounds, bright colors, and distinct textures to help them identify shapes and colors in a fun way. Reusing a toy enhances memory, which is why we also advocate for Maria Montessori's teaching philosophy. This educational wooden toy for school-aged children often contains a puzzle, a problem-solving technique, or a mathematical proposition. Not all toys are suitable for all ages, but we, Wooden Toys, strive to offer a variety of quality products for everyone. We dream that everyone can live a better, sustainable life, and our life choices will affect our children's lives.
