Having children is one of the most wonderful things that could happen to anyone. However, these days more and more parents are making one of the biggest mistakes ever: giving them an unlimited access to computers, cell phones, TV, DVD, video, PlayStation, etc. Why mistake, you may ask. Well, while watching TV or some video on YouTube, children focus their attention onto the screen which is a very passive form of learning and entertainment as well. Instead of using their own imagination in order to learn and to create something on their own, children are passive recipients of visual and auditory stimulation that results in no use nor development of their fine motor skills. This is why limiting their access to these modern ways of learning is of vital importance. Imaginative and creative play, on the other hand, is the most natural way for children to learn about the world, making them use their whole body. The traditional way of playing with toys especially with the wooden ones like building blocks, wooden activity play box, dollhouses, etc., will help them learn about the materials, and it will help them express through play both verbally and non-verbally. Through this kind of play, they will develop their fine and gross motor skills, and will also develop healthy, strong, and complete neurological connections in their brains. When it comes to the material, wooden toys are the best ones you can invest in. Just like we already mentioned, wooden toys are amazing for developing many skills, they are pretty practical, easy to clean, contain no chemicals at all, and will last for many years to come.

Balance toys, magnets, dominoes, marble runs, stackers, pretend play toys, puzzles, and wooden work benches are just some of the many wooden toys you can find online.
