It is thought that natural wood toys were the first toys to be made and played with. They've been found when archeologist's have excavated hunting for other artifacts. Children toys made from wood have been with us for millenia.
Wood was employed all those years back because actually there had been nothing else available that was so straightforward to work with and shape into toys.
Tool kits and wagons appeal to a little older kids. Wooden building block sets provide many hours of fun and imaginative play for every age.
Personalised name board puzzles, coat racks, name train sets, and stools make perfect birthday presents. Painted (non-dangerous paints only) or in natural wood, they show the gift giver cared sufficiently to reserve a special present.
