Every year, companies develop new games and toys for kids’ education. There are those of them that feature intricately-designed plastic pieces and come with all the bells and whistles. Others, on the other hand, are more simple and have been designed for some specific purposes. But although today there are various toys for various reasons on the market, you can end up spending a lot of money without getting any educational value out of them. For that very reason, stick to the old but gold choice – wooden ark toy models. They often have a lot more to offer to your kids than the latest trendy educational ones, with creative play being one of their biggest assets.

This, of course, depends on the kind of toys you’re looking at, but today there are a lot of popular ‘modern’ toys that do everything for your kid. They move, make noises and even light up! So if you see your children playing with a toy of that kind, you’ll probably realize that most of the time they’re just watching them do what they do with a smile on their face. However, toys that don’t make sounds and don’t move can stimulate your children’s imagination a lot more. What this means is that you will hear a lot more ‘choo choo’ sounds while they are playing. That way you can really start to see your kids bring their ‘knowledge of the world’ and reasoning into play.

I got my kids the ultra-popular Noah wooden ark toy and I’m so glad that I chose well because they loved it so much that I went and bought another one from that type a couple of days later. I figured these wooden toys are a great way for my kids to explore their agility and develop their hand-eye coordination. The first set I got them has ten wooden animals and a beautiful wooden rocking ark that features a pink whale. It is perfect for manual dexterity, individual and social play. It encourages kids to sort and match by finding the five pairs of animals. If your children are very young, they will love seeing how high they can stack the animals while balancing on the ark. Mine totally love this one.

The other set I got them is a colorful 3 in 1 ark which can be easily turned from an ark into Noah’s car or Noah’s airplane. They find this one extremely amusing – it has moving wheels which make the car and airplane modes that much more realistic. The toy includes Noah and his wife as well as eight pairs of animals for shape sorting, including cows, elephants, pigs, lions, hippos, sheep, bears and monkeys. These wooden toys are produced from sustainable rubberwood and are finished with non-toxic paints and lacquers which makes them the ideal toy choice for your kids.
