Discover why parents love wooden toys again and how they benefit child development.
Wooden toys may seem like a thing of the past, but in 2025, they’re more popular than ever, especially among parents who value quality, durability, and educational play.
At Zoe & Co. Mercantile, we’ve seen a growing number of customers choosing classic wooden toys over plastic alternatives.
But what’s behind this trend?
1. Built to Last
Wooden toys don’t crack or bend easily. They can be passed down from one child to the next, making them a smart long-term investment for families.
2. Safer and Eco-Friendly
Most wooden toys are made from natural materials and are free of harsh chemicals, making them safer for kids and better for the environment.
3. Inspired by Montessori Learning
Parents who follow Montessori or Waldorf education philosophies love wooden toys because they promote independent thinking and hands-on learning.
At Zoe & Co. Mercantile, we carry a beautiful selection of wooden puzzles, building sets, and learning toys that spark creativity and curiosity.
