Toys&Games

The fact that we all know is all kids and children love toys. Even my self, as long as I can remember when I was young, the first toy I had was an airplane made from wood. It was actually can not fly but it was really appreciated me at that time. Since then, wooden toys have become my favorite. However, it's been really long time and now I grew up but I can see the popularity of wooden toy still increasing. Even now, my children love to play wooden toys but for only something that has changed.

According to the fact that there are many types and designs of wooden toys available in the market. We can also see a lot of development of these wooden toys. For example, just only a piece of wood that made in airplane shape in the past now wee can have wooden robot which can actually walk and children can control it to do other things by using remote control. These technological developments demonstrate the greater opportunity for children to learn because they will experience the new thing. However, design of wooden toy also have to be taken into account as there are some issue about safety. Particularly for baby and young children who love to play simple type of wooden toys.

Apart from environment preservation issue that make any kind of wooden material have to be limited in terms of the number of goods productions. In some country, there are very strict law and severe penalty for the manufacturers who produce exceed the quota.

However, that one is the impact in larger scale, but for user, other issue has been raised, safety. This come to my attention since, my little baby got the new wooden doll and get injured by stepping on the rolling wheel of the toy and also injure by the fragment of cracked wood from the same piece of toy. So I would like to share this experience with all parents.

If you are considering to buy wooden toy for you child, especially for little baby or very young children. You may have to consider about its design, which should ensure that it is maximum safe during play the toy. Firstly, have a look at the surface or external condition of the wood. In the market there are many types and grades of wood. Some are processed very neatly. However, you should be care full with some type of wood that not well process, which generally has cheaper price. This should bring to attention because of for the wooden toy that has not been coat the surface, thee will be some sharp fragment crack from the wood's surface and this could harm to children. As you might now that baby or young children always love to take everything into their mouth!!. It is definitely that you just can not risk it and never let it happened to your child.

In summary, you should be careful on the type of wooden toy that may not safe to your child, just to ensure that the toy made from good quality wood and well process as well as having design that safe, such as have no wheels to avoid accident.
