It’s hard to believe that some of the all time favorite toys of children to this day are these top wood toys. Getting back to the basics is a theme that many parents would love to be able to hold to, and with these toys, you can’t get much more basic than wood. These ever popular wooden toys will take you back to yesteryear as you introduce them into your child’s play world.
The top of the list are plain old fashioned wood building blocks. These come in various shapes and sizes and are made out of durable hardwood. The most common shapes are cylindrical, triangular, rectangular and square. Your child will have hours of fun using his or her imagination building any number of creative structures.
LIncoln Logs
Another favorite since they were built in 1916 are Lincoln Logs. This toy consists of notched miniature logs so that small log buildings can be built. Be a little adventurous and try the Lincoln Logs set which has windows and doors to make the buildings appear more realistic. Newer sets also come with figures of humans and animals that match the scale of the buildings.
The last of the popular wood toys are “Tinkertoy Classic Construction Set” which has been around many homes since 1914. The set centers around a 2 inch round block with holes drilled around the perimeter, and one in the center. There are then differing-length sticks and more round blocks with various holes drilled in them. Your child can build just about anything his imagination desires.
