In their imaginary games children often tend to imitate real life scenarios. For example, kids can have wooden toys in the form of grocery items or household items to play “House” or “Grocery shopping”. Basic figures along with the imagination can be sufficient to develop practical skills. For example, wooden sticks can represent money while shopping for wooden fruits or veggies. Red circles can become strawberries, and blue ones — blueberries when making “fruit salad”.

Wooden toys can be used for solving problems. Preschoolers or kindergarteners can use wooden toys as visual aid when learning to add and subtract. Older kids can use them, let's say, for building fortresses to test either stability or the action of destructive forces, or create more complex visual solutions for math or science problems. Unlike other developmental toy sets, which often contain pre-constructed pieces, wooden toys have non-specific shapes and using them will require a lot more imagination.

While using their imagination for real life play, children often like to invite others to join. The toys that can “talk” or make other noises are more likely to promote solo play, because they provide a “reaction” and “socialize” with a child. Wooden toys don't have any light or sound effects or other interactive features, which makes children tend to invite other kids to play along. If you have several kids in your family, chance are wooden toys will never be played by one child only. Otherwise, you as a parent can always become a playing companion to your kid. Playing with your kids can help them expand their comprehension and reinforce their decisions.

No doubt, wooden toys are considered to be fashionable at all times. Strictly speaking, they remained in fashion for decades if not centuries. Your grandparents and great grandparents played and learned with wooden toys as your grandchildren and great grandchildren will also be doing. With all the variety of new and often amazing items, it is better at times to turn to a trusted product which has been around for a while. Manufacturers are constantly working on improving and varying the look and construction of wooden toys, but one can rest assured: those toys will posses all the qualities and advantages that had been already serving the generations of children

Let’s take an honest look — children don't spare their toys and other materials they get their hands onto. Chances are your games and sets are missing one or two pieces, and at least one toy is broken. Wooden toys, however, not only keep serving their purpose, but oftentimes get passed along from generation to generation.They are usually made from solid high-quality wood and they retain their wholeness. Except for a few scratches or dents these toys are practically unbreakable, as they are made from high quality wood. If soiled, they can be easily cleaned and be back into a battle. If you would like to invest into good toys, why not to choose something that will last longer and serve a few generations of kids?
