Children love to play and when they are at this young, playful age, their brains are developing faster than they ever will. That makes playtime that much more important for our children and it also emphasizes the importance of high quality learning toys.

     Are some toys better than others? And what toys should today’s parents look for? The best choice for toys that can help your child learn and grow physically, mentally and emotionally are toys that are made of wood, instead of plastic. In fact, wooden toys are often recommended by doctors and psychologists for many reasons. Lets take a look at some of them now.

6 Reasons Why Wooden Toys Are Better Than Plastic For Your Child

Encourage Imaginative Play- wooden toys encourages your child to create imaginative play games. This helps their brains develop and can increase their social skills as well. This type of role-play and imaginative play can also stimulate emotional skills, language skills and thinking skills.

Safety- being one of the biggest concerns when choosing a child’s toy, safety is important during playtime. Wooden toys are much safer than toys made of plastic as they aren’t easily broken, whereas plastic toys can break easily, leaving sharp edges. Wooden toys are also better for babies who seem to always be putting toys in their mouths.

Durability- wooden toys are much more durable than plastic toys and they last longer making them a better value.

Tactile And Strength Building- plastic toys are often lightweight and cheap feeling. Wooden toys, however, are much heavier and have a quality feel. The additional weight of wooden toys can help children build strength while developing their fine motor skills at the same time.

Helps Build Problem Solving And Reasoning Skills- being able to reason and problem solve are two important developmental milestones that children typically learn on their own. With wooden toys, you can give them the tools to learn those skills much sooner.

Eco-Friendly- no matter how much your child likes a toy, it will eventually end up in a land fill. Plastic can take hundreds of years to degrade, while wood, being a natural material degrades completely in much less time and with less chemical damage to the environment.
