Are you looking for educational, safe, and well-made toys? Picking out toys for your child can feel overwhelming. There are so many options available in-store and online that it can take time to know where to start. As a parent, you want to provide your child with the best toys available that will be safe for play and aid in their learning development. 

If you’re new to Montessori toys, figuring out what toys are appropriate for different age groups can seem confusing. You want to buy products that will actually aid in your child’s development, so finding the right toys that are age appropriate is essential for their learning and growth. Where should you start?

Without knowing what warnings and disclaimers to look for can be a challenge. Here, we will discuss what are VOCs, how to check if the toy is compliant for formaldehyde, and how to pick toys that are made from safe, non-toxic natural materials.

At CUBOS, we believe we can be a better natural wooden toy alternative. A better design, using better materials, with the end result being an heirloom quality toy that you can pass down through generations. It's the knowledge that what we create is a better option, using natural, raw materials instead of plastics and harmful chemicals.

Child safety is of paramount concern to a mother and father. When it comes to toys, wood may be the safest option for children as an alternative to plastic or metal. This notion is even more apparent when younger children tend to stick everything in their mouths.

Natural wooden toys are the gift that keeps on giving. Most developmental toys for babies are made from wood, making them safer for babies than plastic alternatives. Give a gift designed to last a lifetime this holiday season by choosing Montessori gifts from CUBOS.

When you were a kid, what were your favorite toys? Maybe you had a precious doll or an action figure you took everywhere. Perhaps it was a beat-up matchbox race car. Do you have any of these playthings still lying around? Maybe one or two, but I’ll bet the doll’s hair you once lovingly brushed over and over is now a tangled, frizzy mess, and the beloved race car, once bright red, is now brown and tarnished, missing a wheel.
