If you are looking to buy a baby a toy that he or she will love and cherish, you can be overwhelmed by the choice within the first twelve months.  If you are buying toys as a present you will want to choose something that is welcomed by the parents and entertains the baby for months, if not years to come.  Wooden toys are ideal for this as it is often the traditional toys that will capture a baby’s imagination for longer than some of the more flashy toys available on the market.

At the top of the list for simplicity and entertainment value is the stackable rings.  You can find this old time classic in a variety of guises, shapes and colours, but it has been loved by children for many decades.  These simple wooden toys help a baby to develop hand-eye co-ordination.  Suitable from around six months onwards, initially the baby will simply gain pleasure from holding and mouthing the rings.  At a later stage the baby will enjoy banging them together and will laugh and giggle at the pleasing sound that wood makes.  The bright colours will teach a baby about the different colours around and they will also learn about different sizes.

As a baby gets into their first year, they will start to enjoy stacking the rings in different ways and time and again, this simple but attractive toy will be played with to the point of exhaustion.

At My Natural Wooden Toys, we have many traditional toys as well as exciting new wooden toys to choose from.
