Christmas Gift Guide
0 to 1 Years Old: Gentle Beginnings with Natural Materials
For babies, the first year is all about exploring the world with all their senses. Wooden toys offer a gentle, safe, and sensory-rich experience perfect for early development. Choose simple wooden rattles, grasping toys, and textured teethers that provide a natural feel and are safe for curious little mouths. These sustainable, low-tox toys are crafted from materials that are safe for babies and gentle on the planet. Designed to be soothing and stimulating, they support fine motor skills, early sensory engagement, and hand-eye coordination.
1 to 3 Years Old: Building Curiosity and Coordination
My favourite age is the toddlers.. they are little adventurers, eager to learn and explore! Wooden blocks, stacking toys, and simple puzzles encourage their curiosity and foster problem-solving skills while promoting motor coordination and spatial awareness. Eco-friendly, open-ended toys in this age range are wonderful for growing with your child, allowing them to play in different ways as they develop. Made from natural, sustainable materials, these toys are durable enough for toddler enthusiasm and help introduce the concept of taking care of their belongings.
3 to 6 Years Old: Imagination and Creativity Unleashed
As children’s imaginations flourish, wooden toys become the perfect foundation for open-ended play. Wooden play kitchens, dolls, building sets, and animal figures allow children to invent worlds and stories while building social skills, language, and creativity. These toys also provide a beautiful aesthetic, which can turn any play space into a natural, inspiring haven.
7 Years and Up: Lifelong Skills and Independent Play
For older children, wooden toys such as board games, construction kits, and intricate puzzles are ideal for cultivating patience, logic, and fine motor skills. Open-ended play options at this age range encourage them to tackle complex challenges independently, supporting persistence and resilience. Durable and eco-conscious, these toys also align with a growing awareness of environmental responsibility. Wooden toys made from sustainable sources provide a valuable, lasting addition to their play, offering both enjoyment and an opportunity to care for the planet.
