The bright colours, shapes, and varied textures of toys help the little ones develop their senses through touch and sight. There is no dearth of toys available in the market but they are mostly made of plastic and other materials that may not be eco-friendly or even child-friendly. Furthermore, because of their flashy designs, they fail to serve the purpose of educating young minds.

Wooden toys for kids, on the other hand, are simple, aesthetically designed to stimulate the minds of children of all age groups and, most importantly, super fun! They encourage kids to think and imagine, which assists in better mental and physical development.

    Why Choose Wooden Toys for Babies?

    Wooden toys for kids include specially created toys for babies aged 0 - 24 months in bright colours, attractive designs, and child-friendly materials. Because babies in this age group tend to put things into their mouths, organic materials, such as wood, cotton and natural dyes (without harsh chemicals), are used to make these natural toys.

    Amala Earth understands the needs of your precious tiny tots. We have curated a wide range of traditional wooden toys and soft toys in cotton and crochet that your kids will love. These toys are earth-friendly, child-friendly, and keep kids safe from allergies.

    Here's why wooden toys are better for your children:

    • Safer for your child
    • Encourage creative play
    • They last longer
    • Enhance early education
    • Better for the environment

    And here are some popular toys at Amala Earth made of all natural materials such as wood, cotton, natural dyes and 100% safe water paints.
