How to Choose the Right Wooden Toy for Your Child's Age

Choosing the right toy for your child's developmental stage is crucial. Here's a guide to help you select the perfect wooden toys at each age:

For Infants (0-12 months):
Focus on sensory stimulation with wooden teethers, rattles, and high-contrast toys. Avoid small parts and prioritize safety.

For Toddlers (1-3 years):
Choose toys that promote motor skills like stacking blocks, sorting toys, and simple puzzles. Shape sorters are excellent for this age.

For Preschoolers (3-5 years):
Introduce more complex building blocks, balance bikes, and basic construction toys that encourage problem-solving and creativity.

For Older Children (5+ years):
Select advanced building sets, strategy games, and craft kits that challenge their growing cognitive abilities.

Key Considerations:
✓ Safety: Look for non-toxic finishes and smooth edges
✓ Durability: Quality wooden toys last years and can be passed down
✓ Educational Value: Choose toys that teach concepts like colors, shapes, and counting
✓ Developmental Appropriateness: Match the toy to your child's current abilities
