Our children ....

Is there anything better than their own children - and they are watching the case? Even from an early age all parents face the question "Which toys do I buy the little ones?". Due to the bad headlines with plastic toys from Asia with hazardous substances concerning the colours one always comes back to the result, the wooden toys "Made in Germany” are the best. Solid processing (if painted - but then) with water-based paints as well as its creative diversity to promote the development of your child.

The trend ....

Wooden Toys again are in vogue. In addition to the classic children's toys such as wooden railway little skill games are popular, even at board games and high-quality wooden components are in vogue again.

Wood instead of plastic ....

Wooden Toys mainly offer an ecological advantage over conventional plastic toys: wood is a natural, renewable resource. It also has very nice surface properties and is non-toxic. While plastics do not inhibit the growth of bacteria normally grow bacteria on wood only slowed down. That makes wooden toys health hazard for children. The disposal is problematic, as played in the production as opposed to plastic toys no polluting substances. Wooden toys are in the further processing often oiled, painted or dryed, here are also used mostly pollutant-free materials. Each piece of wood is different in texture, colour and weight, so that every toy is unique and therefore not the only curiosity, but also awaken the creativity of children. Wooden toys, for example in the form of cars, figures and building blocks, are not only privately but also increasingly used in kindergardens and schools for creative educational games in the classroom.

Therefore, strict requirements are imposed on the materials used and it is checked in advance whether the substances and release the toys in use. The wood used may be derived from sustainable forests and also on the social conditions in the construction shall be respected.
