Give Your Child Heirloom Quality Wooden Toys
There are probably dozens of heirloom wooden toys scattered throughout your family. Stashed away in attics and boxed up in basements. Maybe even getting used as decorative accents for a family room or den. How old are they? If you played with them when you were a kid they might be more than a few decades old – at least. And how many of the toys that you purchased your children for Christmas this year do you think will survive ten or 20 years? I bet a lot of them didn’t even make it 10 or 20 days.
Yet your child could start playing with that old rocking horse you’ve got up in the attic, or the bucket of building blocks, right now and they’d get just as much enjoyment out of them as you did when you were a child. Of course, you may wish to clean them up a bit first and get rid of all those decades of attic dust that they’ve gathered. However after you have cleaned them up, they are ready to take your child on the same flights of fantasy that you used to enjoy.
Can the same be said of any of the toys you’ve given your child recently? Will they not only still be in working order in 20 years or even 20 minutes, but will they still be able to capture your child’s interest the way a simple set of wooden building blocks can? Thomas The Train and other cartoon characters come and go every few years. First it’s one character, and then it’s another. And your children have to have all the toys that go along with it. Eventually those characters drop off of TV and your child loses interest and then the next character comes on board to claim even more of your money.
But wooden trucks and cars and trains? They never fall from popularity. Wooden pull-toys and wooden puzzles will forever be around. Why? Because they are not based on some character your kid sees on the television. They are not created on a whim simply to take advantage of the next popular TV show. And since they are not related to any TV shows or characters, you child is allowed to use his imagination and make that wooden car into any type of car he wants. His wooden train doesn’t need to be named Thomas – he can name it after his daddy or his best friend. His wooden blocks of all different shapes and sizes don’t need to be assembled into square little homes and square little knobby looking people – they will be used to build towers and castles with turrets and draw bridges.
The reason you will find so many heirloom wooden toys is because they are so durable and so entertaining. And because they permit your child to use his imagination, they grow with your child and become their favorite toys. Why not add to your heirloom wooden toy assortment so your child will have something to pass on to your grandchildren that can bring them just as much happiness as it brought you. Shared memories really are the best.
