As the mother of three children I would consider myself quite knowledgeable regarding toys. I’ve seen some interesting “must have” items come and go, and have even purchased a few myself. The older my children are the more I understand the importance of purchasing quality toys. I wish I would have understood that concept when my youngest was little. The idea of a quality toy can vary from person to person, of course. But the kind of quality toys I am referring to are the simple, wooden well constructed variety.
Sure those flashy, widely popular toys can be fun for a while, but all too frequently they loose their charm rather quickly. Aren’t most parents guilty of hiding a certain toy their child loves, but drives them insane? I have been known to do this on occasion. Now that my youngest is two years old and I am faced with the prospect of getting rid of some of our toys, I look for those that have worth to make “the cut” to remain. There are only a few toys that I will be keeping, those with longevity.
My youngest son recently received a wooden Farm Set from Discoveroo. We have quite a few tractors in our house, but nothing quite like this.
The set includes a tractor, two trailers, a farmer, a cow, a pig, 4 hay bails and even a rake and shovel.
What makes this set different is first and foremost the fact that it is made from wood. I love giving my children toys that are NOT made from plastic. It almost seems as though everything is made from plastic these days. These finished wooden toys are well constructed and provide children that ability to use their imaginations. With bendable arms and legs the farmer, pig, and cow can be posed in different ways.
I also found the way the tractor and trailers attach together to be original and yet simple. With a tightened little rope a little peg is placed into its open spot. Little fingers will have to work to attach the peg, but this is a great way to increase fine motor skills. Notice the attached tractor and trailer in the picture below.
Discoveroo, a company from Australia, has a wide selection of wooden toys that are just now hitting the North America market. Through distributor, Bug In A Rug, American parents can now purchase these quality toys.
Some of my other favorites include- this race car set
And this Sort N’ Stack Truck
