Wooden toys are the perfect Christmas gift. Why? Aside from being eco-friendly, they foster a child's imagination. There are no bells and whistle that drive parents crazy, no need for batteries that will clutter the landfill, and they are durable, usually outlasting their plastic counterparts. Big B's first wooden toys were puzzles given to him for his first birthday. He absolutely loved them. Soon after that, I was addicted to them myself.
