Our 5 Top Wooden Toys for Under 2s

As a new parent, it is hard knowing what toys are suitable for your toddler. You want something high quality that they’ll enjoy playing with and can be used creatively in multiple ways as they grow. Our range of educational wooden toys fit those requirements perfectly. Five wooden toys we suggest you look at first are:

1. Wooden Walker Wagon -made in New Zealand, the wooden wagon is a timeless and traditional toy. Sturdy and just the right size for growing legs, it can be pushed around by the toddler as they start to walk. It also comes filled with wooden blocks which are great for stacking and balance, colour identification, hand eye coordination and learning about shapes.
2. Wooden Peg and Hammer Set – another NZ made traditional toy, the wooden hammer and peg sets are a great way to learn about cause and effect. It is also useful for encouraging hand eye coordination and gross and fine motor skills. It will keep your young child occupied for hours!
3. Wooden Spinning Gears – recommended age two and up, these spinning gears start off by simply being toys that can spin and twist. Children quickly realise that there is more to them than meets the eye, when they learn more about cause and effect. They can also learn about trial and error in positioning the cogs to make al the gears spin.
4. Wooden Noah’s Ark – the ultimate shape sorter, boat and role play toy in one! Take the animals for a ride, match and sort shapes by putting the animals through the holes and encourage creative play with all of the characters.
5. Wooden Stacking Pegboard – always a popular option, the wooden stacking pegboard helps develop organisation skills by sorting out colours, learning about repeating patterns, and building on fine motor skills by picking up and stacking pegs on top of one another.
