Why Parents Are Rethinking Plastic Toys
Plastic toys are often overstimulating, short-lived, and not ideal for babies who explore the world through touch and taste. This has led many UAE parents to seek safer, eco-friendly wooden toys.
Why Wooden Toys Are Better for Babies & Kids
1. Safer for Babies (0–2 Years)
Wooden toys are typically free from harmful chemicals and made with non-toxic finishes — ideal for infants who mouth toys.
2. Better for Brain Development
Wooden toys encourage imagination and problem-solving rather than passive play.
3. Environmentally Responsible
They are biodegradable, durable, and reduce plastic waste.
