But though today’s chil­dren got changed or are dif­fer­ent from those of cen­turies, still many of their most desired baby toys can be found more or less much sim­i­lar to those that have been around for thou­sands of years ago. If you look back in our his­toric ages, chil­dren & adults were used to play with weapons, horses & char­i­ots but as a mat­ter of fact in those ancient time toys dis­cov­ered by archae­ol­o­gist were made out from wood.

Wooden toys were always a main attrac­tion for babies from cen­turies. In the 17th cen­tury, Ger­man toy man­u­fac­tur­ers started craft­ing an array of wooden toys to sell mainly to chil­dren.

A new turn of intro­duc­ing new mate­ri­als of plas­tic for the man­u­fac­tur­ing indus­try was set up by the end of World War II. With the large scale pro­duc­tion of toys on a mas­sive scale, toy man­u­fac­tur­ers started opt­ing more on plas­tic. The out­put made by such pro­duc­tion was cheap & afford­able to all along with qual­ity mate­r­ial. Thus, steadily pro­duc­tion of wooden toys espe­cially made for babies declined.

Things have changed now, as wooden toys comes out to be the odd one if found on shelves of cus­tom­ary toy stores. Wooden toy­mak­ers although on a vague way but still the attrac­tion & demand of these child­hood clas­sics has kept them in busi­ness.

    Read­ing to your baby is great cud­dle time and helps build a love of books and read­ing. You can get plain (no text) pic­ture books like the ones by Tana Hoban or read sim­ple sto­ries. Even a mag­a­zine with pic­tures. Sure, baby doesn’t under­stand yet, but will love to look at the pics and will love the time with you. We’ve been read­ing to our daugh­ter since she was a month or two old and she LOVES books now at 16 months.

    The bot­tle ideas are great. We also filled water bot­tles with col­ored water for her to roll around and shake, etc. We put some lit­tle plas­tic fish in one, too.

    Another good home made toy: clean out old cans (like from toma­toes or soup) of dif­fer­ent sizes. Make sure there aren’t any sharp edges. Cover in col­ored duct tape and/or elec­tri­cal tape and you’ve got stack­ing cups, drums and rolling toys all in one :)

    We have a 10 month baby and we dont’ beleive in intro­duc­ing TV or com­puter stuffs to him at this age. We pre­fer him to learn the basic things.

    We have a lot of home made toys for him. Gather a few plas­tic cups and put them up like a ris­ing tower. He enjoys it when he can push the cups down.

    Got a milk bot­tle and put some rice and col­or­ful paper in it. He shake it and lis­ten to the sound. Put other items in dif­fer­ent bot­tle and he learn of other sounds.

    Dis­cov­ery Toys! A friend of mine made a lot of money doing this. I ordered a ton of toys through her, and they lasted through 3–4 of my lit­tle ones’ abuse. :)

    I com­pletely agree with you.
    Peo­ple don’t real­ize that these toys are actu­ally suck­ing the cre­ativ­ity out of lit­tle minds. Soon, all they can think of is Tickle Me Elmo and wait till the toy tells you what to do next. After all toys talk now, so the kid doesn’t actu­ally have to think of games and things to do, just wait to be told.

    Fun stuff! Yes, he’s nor­mal. I bought toys for my nephew. I just looked at the age on the pack­ag­ing. For Christ­mas I was able to pur­chase both 0–3 months and 3–6 months. What a great aunt you must be–already spoil­ing him with toys!! :)
