Construction Wooden Toys

Construction toys are still just as popular today as in the early 1900s. Though the sets are a bit more elaborate and offer additional accessories, they still retain their simple charm. Both Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys are widely available today. In fact, Tinker Toys were named 2001's "Best Infant/Preschool Toy of the Year" by the Toy Manufacturers of America.

Pretend Play Toys

Kids love to lose themselves in pretend play. Toy kitchens, playhouses, dollhouses, workbenches, and more allow children to try their hands at being adults. Unfortunately, many of the modern versions of these toys are constructed of highly breakable plastic. Wooden pretend play toys, on the other hand, are often hand-crafted and heirloom quality.

Ride-on Toys

Wooden ride-on toys are typically powered the old-fashioned way-- by foot power! Wooden ride-on toys are available in a variety of designs, from old-fashioned rocking horses and ride-on trains to slick Harley Davidson motorcycles and whimsical ride-on ladybugs. These wooden ride-on toys generally show a durability and attention to detail that their plastic peers can't match-- and the price reflects that.
