Christmas Wooden Toy

History of Giving Toys to Kids on Christmas

As you’re preparing for your Christmas shopping, you may find it fascinating to consider the historical backdrop of Christmas toys.

“Giving children toys denoted Christmas’ change from a public occasion to a family one.”

Giving blessings has been a human custom since old times. Old Romans traded gifts on New Year’s Day to commend the colder time of year solstice. The concept that gift-giving is an outflow of adoration and love. It is commonly thought to be related to the spread of Christianity. Giving toys for Christmas first turned into a thing, in mid-nineteenth-century England.

The legend of Santa Claus started a significant advancement throughout the entire existence of Christmas toys. As Santa got known as a caring defender of kids, it got standard to give kids little toys to commend the Christmas occasion. Dolls, building blocks, soft toys, or table games were a portion of the more mainstream presents during the early Christmas festivities.

With the harvest complete, it was a period for workers to celebrate and for patrons to give their workers fresh meat and bounty to drink. However, by the mid-nineteenth century, more individuals were procuring their livings through wage labour, and that sort of carnival-style holiday was on the decline. In this new social reality, Christmas changed from a public festival to a family one. Where gifts had been for workers, now they are for kids.

When you are choosing toys in general, it’s essential to know how the toy is going to be used and by whom. Here are a couple of points to keep in mind. Is the toy:

• Going to be used by a baby and end up in a mouth?
• Suitable for the age and development of the child?
• Safe? Does it have any sharp objects or splinters?

Why wooden toys?

Wooden toys are a great natural option and can tick many boxes like being environmentally-friendly, biodegradable, sustainable/renewable, durable, Waldorf- and Montessori-friendly, and last but not least beautiful.

They are also considered open-ended, which means they are excellent to encourage imagination and problem-solving. They tend to be more simple than plastic toys because they don’t always have smooth surfaces and straight lines, which leaves more room for creativity.

Encourage a more creative gameplay

Wooden toys are generally tools that encourage imagination. Wooden toys don’t require electricity, batteries, or software. They are types of toys that allow children to think up many uses for the toy. They can develop new outcomes, games, and wooden toys also foster interaction and role playing. They can play differently each time with their toy set or wooden blocks.

So, here is our list of Christmas gift ideas for you.

1. Wooden Animals

Kids love animals! Particularly during their early years, it’s when they are fascinated with their habitat and particularities.

2. Wooden Farm

Farm life has something special, something that most of us can only imagine since we rarely have the chance to experience it first-hand. When it comes to role-playing, this type of activity is amongst the children’s favorites. Having so many tools at their disposal – the barn, accessories, farm animals etc. – it is easier for them to surrender completely to their creativity.

Imagine the happiness in their eyes when they open the big gift box with everything they need to bring the countryside to life! Such a toy is also a great opportunity to spend time together as a family. Impersonating farm characters is by far one of any child’s favorite activities!

3. Wooden Dollhouse

Another fantastic toy that will unleash your child’s imagination is doll house. This would be an ideal gift for girls! The airy design and smooth appearance make it a perfect tool for role-playing, as it leaves room for your child’s imagination.

 

4. Train and tracks

Train and tracks are also great for children’s imagination. They will give you surprise ideas that they have so many different ways to play with them.
