Every new parent has encountered an eternal dilemma - which toys to buy for a child that do not end up in a drawer without purpose and use? While I was still pregnant, I became aware that natural toys with their materials, composition and function can have a positive impact on a child and a family in the long run, as well as on nature and the environment. Specifically, toys made of wood can often have several functions, and therefore they are a tool for opening the child's mind and creativity. While plastic toys pile up quickly, creating clutter and sometimes a sense of anxiety in space, natural toys can easily adapt to any ambience.After all, we are beings of nature and energetically resonate with materials from Mother Nature and not from petroleum products. Children are especially vulnerable at an early age of their lives and every parent should explore the positive effects of brands that offer natural products for our smallest and most loved ones. Keep in mind that such products are in a price range that is more expensive than ordinary toys. The reason for this is that these brands really care about the composition, quality and our children and planet Earth. Natural toys also have a much longer lifespan - these are toys that can last for years and generations of children. By investing in quality toys, it contributes to all possible aspects - health, aesthetics, development of children's motor skills and brain, finances, workers, animals, the planet. Choose consciously and carefully.
