More and more Dutch families are opting for wooden toys. From building toys to educational toys and from classic toys to the latest gadgets, there's something for everyone. But what are some fun, sustainable gifts that your child will enjoy for hours? We've selected a few educational options that are perfect for giving as gifts!
Why wooden toys?
There are several reasons why wooden toys are a great choice for your child. Firstly, wood is a sustainable material, making wooden toys an environmentally friendly option. Additionally, wood is a natural material, safe for children to play with. Unlike plastic toys, wooden toys do not release any chemicals or other harmful substances. Furthermore, wooden toys often provide more challenge and developmental opportunities for children than other types of toys. Wooden toys stimulate more movement and creativity in children because they encourage imagination.
Wooden building blocks
Wooden building blocks are a popular choice for children of all ages, and for good reason. Building blocks are a simple yet versatile toy that helps children develop their fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills. At the same time, this toy provides hours of fun. The Kapla Block Set is one such toy set that offers the best of both worlds: hours of fun and development-stimulating toys. This block set consists of no less than 280 planks, a storage box, and an instruction book. With this, buildings can be constructed that can stand beautifully as decoration in the room.
Wooden musical set
A wooden musical set is a must-have on this list. Like the wooden building blocks, this set is made of durable wood. From drums, maracas, and castanets to tambourines: this wooden musical set offers plenty of choices to stimulate your child's musical talent. The various instruments in the set are easy to use and can be passed down to future generations. This makes this musical set a valuable addition to every family's toy collection!
Wooden push walker
Push walkers are a fun and challenging play option for children from about 18 months old. They help develop skills such as balance, coordination, and equilibrium. Moreover, playing with a push walker can help improve the fine motor skills of hands and fingers. This helps children to write and craft better at a later age. The Brio wooden push walker is exactly one such push walker. A beautifully finished wagon in a flashy yellow-red color. The handle of the wooden push walker can be set in 2 different positions. This allows you to use the walker for children who are taking their first steps, but it is also a fun gift for children who can already walk.
Giving gifts is a fun and meaningful way to strengthen connections with others. It's a fun activity for both adults and little ones!
