We live in a day and age where technology has overruled the innocence that children once possessed. Even at the youngest ages, children are susceptible to television, computers, and all other forms of technology around them. Thankfully, toy companies continue to provide wooden toys for children that occupy children with hours of fun while stimulating a sense of learning and creativity in children of all ages.
Among these are the very-popular Lincoln Logs. From their invention in 1916, Lincoln Logs have remained a cultural institution in homes across America. Consisting of miniature "logs" that can be linked together to form works of art, they're simple to use and enjoyable to play. Lincoln Logs can be picked up at a cost-efficient price in any toy store, providing children of all ages hours of fun to occupy their time.
Wooden cars and train sets are also popular among toddlers ages 2-4. Children that age are so young that anything occupies their attention - wooden cars that kids can move and play with build imagination and creativity. Coming in all shapes and sizes, children can build an entire universe around wooden cars and trains. The minute you give a child a wooden car, watch as their eyes light up and their excitement reaches new heights.
Toys like simple wooden building blocks and shapes can also bring joy to a young child's face. While the toy itself may look simple, it's what the child does with the toy that's unique. Children can learn how to build simple to complex structures while making use of shapes and details.
If you're looking to buy your child an exact wooden toy currently on the market, a suggestion would be the "Pyramid of Play." Although more expensive (around $200), it includes 4 walls with different games and activities to give your child endless possibilities. For the younger children, the inexpensive "Ball Popper" is another great wooden toy in which toddlers pound balls through a hole. Simple, yet amusing.
