Balance Bikes Made From Wood - The Healthy Choice For Growing Kids

With so many toy brands on our shelves today, shopping for kids has become a straight forward task.

However, with a growing awareness of what is good for the body and the environment, people are starting to become more particular about the toys they buy for kids.

Wooden toys have been around for years but just recently the demand for them has grown considerably. Products such as wooden building blocks, trains and the balance bike have become increasingly popular. The balance bike for example, teaches children between the ages of 2 -6 years how to gain balance and maintain control on a lightweight wooden bike - making it an easier transition when it comes to handling a pedal bicycle.

Kids are very susceptible to sickness, especially during the first few months of their lives. They develop rashes, come down with coughs and colds and suffer from general sickness. There's only one way to minimise the risks of this happening - to surround them with things that are healthy on the body.

Toys are the one thing that kids regularly come into contact with from the day they're born. They play with them on the ground and religiously put them in their mouths. It's not so much what's on the ground that's of concern either - it's what the toys are made of that poses the most threat to their health.

Wooden toys are not only made from a renewable resource but they're also generally free of chemicals and lead - two harmful materials that are commonly found in plastic toys.

Some experts have linked some of the chemicals in today's plastic toys to some serious conditions. So while the initial cost of plastic toys is usually cheaper than wooden toys, the potential health hazards are greater. It's therefore no surprise that toys made from natural fibres, such as wood, are now the preferred choice among parents.

The smooth finish and tactile pleasure of quality wooden toys cannot be matched by any other material. They are built to last and have no sharp edges.

Wooden toys help stimulate children's imaginations as well as support their physical and mental development. Purchasing a balance bike for your young children will build up their confidence while also improving their co-ordination skills.

With so many wooden toys to choose from, there's simply no reason why we can't surround our growing infants with the health they need. They'll appreciate it and so will you.
