I love the idea of having something that will hold up to baby’s playing, and also be a wonderful keepsake once they’re grown. And let’s be honest, you’re not going to want to keep some of those bright plastic toys that light up and sing nursery rhymes, so here’s a list of my favorite wooden toys from my favorite stores!

Odin Parker

Ducks

These adorable little guys can be purchased separately or together with the landscape! They’re small, so keep them on a shelf until your little one’s third birthday, they make for great nursery decor when not in use!

Wooden Sail Boat

This wooden boat comes with two little friends, Bubbles and Squeak! You can’t put the boat in water, but it would be perfect for any child with a sense of adventure!

Handmade Wooden Airplane with Pilot

Planes are always a hit with young children, and this little set is something you’ll cherish forever. You get to choose which pilot you want!

Handmade Pyramid Tower

While the previous toys have been more suited to toddlers, this beautiful stacker set is perfect for helping your baby practice their coordination! The wooden circles will hold up to baby’s play, and the claming colors would look great in any room.

Wooden Carousel Music Box

Odin Parker has so many music boxes to choose from, but this one is my favorite. This piece isn’t designed for play, so keep it on a shelf until your child is old enough to understand, but it plays a soft melody that anyone would love!

These race cars come with either a bunny or a chicken. The wheels are on wooden axels that turn, so you can drive it like a real race car! These cars are made from recycled wood and come from a sustainable manufacturer, so you can feel good about having these in your home.
