Wooden Toy Wednesday!

Wooden toys also help to keep a child’s attention span. Compared to an electronic toy that makes noises and moves, a child will play more with the wooden toy than with a battery operated one. My children grew up with wooden toys, many of which they made themselves using their imagination. Today what they remember about there favorite toys are the wooden toys that their dad made or the ones that they made themselves.

Today’s children are stuck to watching tv and having moving, noise making toys starting from birth. So much distraction is one reason while some children have short attention spans and desire constant entertainment.

Wooden toys will help unlock their imaginative minds and allow their personality to develop. Perhaps it is making cookies with their wooden toy kitchen set or playing rodeo with a wooden toy stick horse. A wooden toy doll house kit will allow parents to interact as they build that house together and let the little interior decorator’s creativity show!

A wooden toy barn and wooden toy fence can create lots of memories as dad and sons play together and get all the farming done. You will see how you behave in situations as your child will imitate what he sees you do throughout your day.

Yes, there are lots of toys that advertisements make you think you can’t live without, but they usually end up buried in the bottom of the toy box and needing batteries. Wooden toys will probably be played with daily and you won’t have to buy a huge supply of batteries. The money you save on batteries can buy a wooden toy that your child and perhaps even your grandchild will treasure.
