Trending Wooden Toys For Toddlers



Today we are talking about hygiene and toxins and the precautions, but, we are forgetting about the safe and beautiful wooden toys. These toys are hand-made and they don’t break easily like plastic toys. Today, you will find plastic and metal toys everywhere in the markets and malls.  This most ancient heritage art of Indian culture is the verge of extinction. Wooden toys are rarely seen in houses in urban areas. But, even today in rural areas, this tradition of making wooden toys is alive because people buy these hand-made wooden toys for their children.

Why Wooden Toys?



But I always search for these beautiful and fascinating wooden toys. The most trending items in wooden toys are multicolored toy-train, jumble-up puzzles, small wooden kitchen set for girls, trolleys, cars and wide range of animals and so on. These wooden puzzles are widely used in Montessori schools and nursery classes to educate children. Wooden alphabets and numbers are also kept in place of plastic ones. This is because these are so beautifully carved and their finish competes with the plastic in the quality parameters.

The Global Recognition

Though these wooden toys are losing hold in local markets in India, but, they are highly in demand in International markets. People all over the world are using these wooden toys in the day to day routine.  Our craftsmen are exporting these hand-madetoys all over the world. Today, several (Non-Government Organizations) NGO's are helping these poor craftsmen to protect our heritage. These NGO’s are not only arranging exhibitions and fares but are also connecting them to the outer world to exhibit their art and talent.
So, next time when you go for window-shopping and you find someone selling these beautiful handicraft wooden toys & games, wait there, have a look and buy some for yourself. You will surely feel very happy after helping these craftsmen.
