Why playing with abstract wooden toys and animals is good for children's development
Playing with animals and figures becomes fascinating as soon as children can grasp in a coordinated manner and remains a focus until they start school, if not longer. The more abstract wooden animals and figures are, the more they stimulate a child's imagination during play. This is particularly relevant later, when children of school age have to solve completely abstract tasks that require imagination and the ability to visualize.
At the same time, wooden animals and figures also support your child in telling and acting out stories. They can represent themselves as wooden figures, but are also part of a larger whole, such as an animal family or a themed world like a farm or forest, thereby teaching children basic connections.
You can find wonderful wooden animals to go with the wooden horse in our category Farm, Wooden Animals, Tractors & More.
