Best Wooden Toys in 2021

Perfect for little ones aged one and up, Pepe Pull Along is a childhood classic. Made of wood, with a non-toxic finish and robust rubber wheels, Pepe works as a push along toy for non-walkers, then a pull along one when they have found their feet.

Melissa & Doug do a fine line in wooden toys. This classic stacker has 25 colourful wooden pieces of rings, octagons, and rectangles that can be matched and stacked on three rods. It's ideal for hand-eye coordination and learning colours.

This Manhatten toy is a rattle, a teether, a geometry toy, and a clutch toy to encourage motor skills. Suitable for the tiniest of tots, the elastic linking the beads and dowels "squish" down to fascinate little learners, but always pops back up for more fun.

Designed to improve a range of motor skills, like hand-eye coordination, arm movement, and understanding cause and effect, this multi-functional toy combines a pounding bench with a xylophone for a musical mashup suitable for kiddies over the age of one.

This brilliant option will keep a toddler entertained for hours as they explore each quadrant and all the little activities they offer. There's gliders, flexible flaps, spinning dials, and bead runs, all in lovely bright colours and crafted from kid-safe painted wood.
