One of the many benefits of wooden toys is that it helps stimulate your child’s senses. The following quote from St. Thomas Aquinas sums up the importance of stimulating your toddlers’ senses: “The senses are gateways to the intelligence. There is nothing in the intelligence which did not first pass through the senses”. Kimboo toys can also help develop creativity and imagination as your child will have the liberty to create his/her own game. They will not be restricted to following certain rules, as they can simply invent their own story! At Kimboo, our mission is simple, we want kids to have fun all while developing their intellectual skills. We believe that letting them play with toys that are made from natural materials gives them even more opportunity to use their imagination.

Unlike many toys available on the market today, wooden toys are not noisy. They do not light up or make a sound when a certain button is pressed. With this said, they encourage your kids to play more peacefully and calmly. After much research, health professionals have been able to prove that too much stimulation may have harmful effects on young children. Wooden toys allow them to play in a calm environment while allowing them to develop their patience. With this type of toy, your toddler will no longer be invaded by noise pollution or external stimulation. They will therefore be able to use their five senses to create a game of their own!

Wooden toys have been around for many generations as they are made from good quality materials and therefore, one of the more durable options. A wooden toy has the possibility of being passed down from generation to generation as they will remain in perfect shape with time. Since their lifespan is so vast, these toys are also a great economical alternative. As previously mentioned, they offer a wide range of playful possibilities for your kid, meaning that they are much less likely to get bored! Since the possibilities are endless, you will no longer need to buy a multitude of toys to satisfy your toddler.

Kimboo wooden toys are ideal for promoting motor development. Since they are non-static toys your children will want to move around, slide, jump, climb and be active while playing. Kimboo wooden toys are a great way of encouraging your children to be more active! Our toys are also evolutive and can be adapted for kids of all ages. With this said, we do recommend a minimum age of 12 months before handling our toys. At Kimboo, we have developed the following two balance boards: the Kimboo Junior balance board (between 12 to 18 months) and the Kimboo Original balance board(for 18 months and older).
