Toys have been an important part of childhood since early civilisation; the earliest toys that were discovered by archaeologists were made of wood. Wooden toys have continued to be a favourite amongst children throughout the years. This is probably due to the many advantages wooden toys have over other modern day toys (usually made out of plastic).

Wooden toys are simple playthings that encourage your child’s imagination. Wooden games such as the Orchard Toys Greedy Gorilla Game Educational Game and the Orchard Toys Tutan Loot 'em Educational Game encourages children to develop their skill thinking techniques as well as developing their fine motor skills. The number of different ways to play with the toy is only restricted to how well a child can use their imagination, so one toy could potentially provide hours of fun for children who have developed imaginations. The more a child exercises their imagination the stronger it will become, in later life this will be a benefit, as your imagination allows you to integrate feelings, aspirations and actions into life.

Children can also use their imagination to create play scenes and scenarios with wooden furniture. Because of the strength of wooden furniture they can stand a lot more weight and pressure than  plastic versions. Wooden furniture is strong and does not break easily. 

The Four Friends Wooden Toy Chest is a versatile piece of furniture that children can store their toys in but they could also use their imagination and transform it into a pirate ship that searches the land for treasure. It’s also a great hiding place for children who love to play hide and seek.

Wooden toys also hold great educational value because of their simplicity. Wooden puzzles such as the Chunky Safari Puzzle and George Luck Dogs Puzzle can help to develop hand eye co ordination and problem solving skills. Almost every wooden toy involves a process of discovery and learning which will enhance the educational development process of your child.
