Wooden toys or plastic toys?
Wooden toys, unlike plastic toys, are made of natural wood or additives, and hence are biodegradable and more eco-friendly. Gadgetoy is a toy brand owned and operated in Australia. Featured in wooden toys and educational play, Gadgetoy pursues a more environmental-friendly way of getting kids to play and have fun at early years. Many mass-produced plastic toys could contain questionable chemicals and without any features of sustainability, compared to the creation of educational wooden toys. Hence, Gadgetoy designs and delivers wooden toys instead of plastic toys to ensure toys are made from nature and care of nature.
Most importantly that, toys coming into contact with a child should be safe, especially as babies love to explore by putting things in their mouths. Wood is a natural material which is safer than plastics for babies. Research also shows that some species of wood may contain antibacterial properties which make wooden toys a safer choice for children. Moreover, wooden toys are more durable, which mean they are less likely to break and leave sharp edges causing danger to kids.
But wooden toys are not just eco-friendly. The most essential idea is that wooden toys successfully connect children to the nature and environment around them. Nowadays, many parents are finding ways to get their kids rid of digital device such as ipads and more exposed to nature. And wooden toys provide easy access for children to touching and learning the natural world.
