In a world literally filled with plastic, these wooden toys are a great way to stand out and make an impression. Whether buying for your own child or giving a gift, these timeless classics will make everyone happy for years to come. What’s better, I’ve seen firsthand how our child prefers the feel and fun of well-made toys over the many (many!) plastic options that are in a pile nearby. No matter the age, kids seem to love these toys, they also serve as great decorations in a kid’s room, and parents will play with them too!

With colorful wooden beads that slide along elastic cords, there is a wonderful click/clack sound they make when shaken around. Our son loved batting it around before he could grasp it with both hands, and now he runs around with one in each hand, clapping them together!

WoodStoreGifts Wooden Rattle With Rings

Our baby kept this near him for the first eight or nine months of his life, sometimes playing with the rings, other times figuring out how to lift an object, and eventually the early side of teething. We lost it and bought two more just to be safe!

This Montessori-inspired wooden classic is easy for small hands to hold, fun to play with as it makes a pleasantly quiet rattling sound, and makes a great teether early on.
