What do wooden toys offer that plastic ones do not?

Wood has weight, grain and a little resistance. That extra feedback through the hands (proprioceptive input) is part of why some autistic children settle with a wooden puzzle when a light plastic one gets pushed away.

Puzzles are also quiet and finite. There is a clear beginning, a clear end and no unexpected noise, which suits people who find open-ended play or battery-powered toys hard to predict.

This collection has jigsaw and inset puzzles, shape sorters, stacking sets, threading blocks and wooden play sets for a range of ages. Some of our customers keep one puzzle for after school as a wind-down before homework starts. Teachers use them in quiet corners and calm spaces.
