Why Wooden Toys?

   Many parents are discovering the value of fine wooden baby toys. Wood has a wonderful warm feel!

   Fine wooden toys can be carved and embossed to create intricate surfaces that stimulate baby's senses. Unlike plastic, which often discolors or becomes brittle over time, fine wooden toys can be handed down from generation to generation.

   Wooden toys are good for the environment. Unlike plastic, which takes thousands of years to degrade, wooden toys and their non-toxic inks can be quickly returned to mother earth when they are no longer wanted.

   Here are some things to look for when buying wooden baby toys:

• all inks should be non-toxic. The toy should have passed international standards on ink safety
• surfaces should be finished to avoid sharp edges that might hurt baby
• high quality woods should be used to prevent splintering
