Wood toys FAQs
I’m buying a present for my niece’s first birthday. Any ideas?
An educational toy is always a good present for a young child. A one-year-old will likely like any gift he or she receives. Therefore the question should really be: “What is the most appropriate gift to give?” Because young children tend to stick things in their mouths that they shouldn’t, it is never good to give a young child a toy that could cut or scratch her mouth or face. Likewise, toys that are not made in the United States do not always meet the same safety requirements that toys made in the United States do. Therefore, it is sometimes risky to buy toys manufactured in foreign countries.All my kids ever want to do is play video games. What can I do to change this?
Aside from taking away the video games, the best thing a parent can do to peel his or her child away from the video game controller is to buy cool toys that can be played outdoors. Swing sets are always favorites among children. Other items like pitching machines, basketball hoops, soccer goals, swimming pools, tetherball poles, etc. are all effective at pulling children away from the home and into the backyard. The more a child plays outside, the more he wants to stay out there.Why would buying wooden toys be a good idea for children?
Granted, wooden toys do not typically make noises and they do not typically flash or have lights on them. Still, children are prone to like wooden toys because they are time-tested favorites. Wooden toys are usually most effective at allowing children to use their own minds and their own imaginations as they play with toys. Toys that include too many bright lights and loud noises rob a child of being able to use his imagination as much as he might like.
