Wooden Pull Toys
Simple and Durable Toys
Wooden toys are often more durable than their plastic counterparts, and you can feel good about buying natural products that are not potentially full of toxins. ImagiPLAY's toys are made from sustainably grown wood such as splinter free rubberwood. Not only does the use of this product ensure an heirloom quality toy, it also means an eco-friendly, "green" alternative to plastics and metals.
Developing Bodies and Minds
Depending on your climate, you may find it challenging to provide your toddler with an hour of physical activity a day if it is rainy or cold outside. Pull toys are perfect for getting your toddler up and moving. Look for toys with bells or other noisemakers, and you'll find your toddler racing through the house with his toy in tow.
This stimulation of more than one sense helps your child's sense of cause and effect ("what happens when I pull this, and when I stop?"), and can enhance his sense of imagination. Favorite animal shaped pull toys can take on personalities of their own, becoming beloved pets and friends who are always up for a walk.
Push Toys, Too
Don't overlook push toys as well; these vehicles, animals, and other things that go encourage your toddler's physical development. As soon as he's able to walk steadily, your toddler will seem to be always on the move and pushing along a car or other wooden toy will develop his fine motor skills, too. ImagiPLAY's push toys are thoughtfully designed with rubber covered wheels to give your floors a rest. Again, choosing a toy that makes noise will elicit giggles from your child and help you to figure out where he is by following the sound.
Basic Toys for Basic Skills
While toys that address specific skills and developmental stages abound, don't overlook the necessity of just plain fun play. Research indicates that children need unstructured play time to develop self-regulation techniques, communication skills, problem solving skills, and sensory awareness. Wooden pull toys are perfect for free play time, encouraging the development of growing minds and bodies.
