The toys made of wood they are simple and offer the child the opportunity to put their intellectual abilities into play, and children who take much more advantage of a simple toy than one programmed to do things on their own. A toy made of wood is capable of transmitting the dedication, determination and patience of the artisan, as well as aesthetic sense and more real concepts of weight and balance. Also, the wood represents the approach to the child's fantasy: by coming into contact with a noble material and by the simple fact of having form and an elementary mechanism, the wooden toy is attractive to him.
