Great Wooden Toy Ideas for Christmas
Karl Wells
Christmas is a time of merriment and sweet gifts, but it can also be a tough time for parents on the budget. Of course, you don't have to worry about your child's happiness levels tanking if they don't get that cool wooden toy they saw on TV. Here are some ideas for affordable toys that will keep your kids busy and happy this holiday season without breaking the bank.
Wooden blocks
Colourful wooden blocks are a perfect way to introduce your child to the joys of building. Your little one will have great fun by simply stacking the blocks on top of one another, or trying to build a tower balancing on a single block. The blocks are attractive, but also educational as they help your child discover 3D shapes. The blocks make for great stacking and encourage imagination and creativity.
Wooden peg puzzles
These fun wooden puzzles encourage your kid to think about how shapes fit together. This helps your child develop their spatial skills, helps them learn about shapes and patterns, helps them practice fine motor skills and even helps them learn colours.
Wooden dominoes
A wooden domino set is great for kids that are just starting to learn how to play board games. Each piece is numbered so it's easy for them to follow along with the game. This toy provides a way for your child to practice their counting skills while playing an entertaining game.
Wooden train set
A wooden train set is a favourite among parents who don't want to spend too much money on toys for their kids. They are available in different sizes and materials, so you can get whichever one suits your child best. It helps develop fine motor skills as kids use their hands to arrange the track and to propel the train.
Wooden jigsaw puzzle
There are many different types of wooden jigsaw puzzles available. If you're looking for an educational toy, then these can be a great way to spend some time with your child. They are durable and come in several sizes to suit different kids. Many even have pictures or text on the pieces. With this toy, your child will learn basic shapes, colours, numbers and letter recognition.
Wooden ride-on cart
A wooden ride-on cart is a great way for your child to explore their surroundings while they are playing. They are safe, easy to use, require little maintenance and offer lots of fun!

My kids love knitting but they get bored very easily. I can knit much faster than they can because I've been doing it for so long. I have started getting them to knit some little clothes for their teddies which they can complete relatively quickly. They love it when they can dress their teddies in tiny versions of the clothing that I have made for them. It's great to see the pride they have in their own handiwork and it's helping them to practise their knitting skills. Teaching kids to love a craft or hobby can give them a lot of confidence and relaxation. Check out these posts to learn more about these activities.
