A lot of people say that it is silly to invest in wooden toys since it’s not safe to play with since it is physically hard plus it’s more expensive than plastic toys.

But a lot us think that these are just regular toys but it can help develop many skills in a child who plays with them.

History of Wooden Toys

Wooden toys existed in the Greek and Roman Empires. The earliest toys discovered were made of wood- Terracotta dolls, horses, balls, wooden trains and tracks. In Egypt, there wooden beads and horses in the Middle Ages. There was the abacus too that was originally wood and the famous wooden alphabet blocks toys. So wooden toys seem to be as old as our civilization.

Wooden Miggy

We recently gave our eldest daughter a wooden kitchen play set on her 3rd birthday. It was nothing but perfect from the bonding time we spend assembling the kitchen set. I can see on her face how excited she was and how she was so happy with it. Even our little boy is enjoying it too.

This kitchen set and these type of pretend play teach kids how to perform and complete  tasks and surprisingly they know what’s happening in the kitchen. They’re indeed the best observers and imitators. So be careful adult peeps, they’re watching you!

If you’re looking for quality wooden toys for kids Wooden Miggy has them for you. I know a lot of online sellers of wooden toys but Wooden Miggy is more than meets the eye. It is the brainchild of a mom who got the idea of selling wooden toys through her dream. She followed that inner voice that told her and started selling wooden toys. From being a corporate employee for 10 years, she decided to focus on taking care of the home and her child. Their everyday bonding and play time led them to finding joy in assembling wooden toy sets. It’s a business that grew out of love.
