Djeco Wooden Toys & Puzzles For Children

Founded in 1954 in the heart of Paris, Djeco is now one of the top toy manufacturers in Europe. Their stunning range uses quality wood and is built to last for years, providing children with the best possible play experience. Because play is essential to a child's development, this collection is both entertaining and educational, awakening youthful curiosity and enriching imagination.

Wooden toys are superior to plastic toys for a number of reasons. Plastic or metal can have sharp edges if they break. Djeco toys, being made of wood, are made to withstand hard-play and are the optimal choice for imaginative play. Wood is an inert and understood material. Young children often put their toys in their mouths, so it is extremely important that they are playing with toys that will not harm them.

Djeco's wooden toys are the obvious solution to supplying your child with responsibly sourced toys that are durable and safe to play with. The final resting place of many toys is the landfill, unfortunately. The simple fact is that wood toys can be reabsorbed into the environment with little consequence. Plastics, on the other hand emit toxic compounds as they break down. Plastics are also sensitive to sunlight and can fade or flake, while wood, especially finished wood, can withstand the elements.

Cleaning Djeco toys might seem difficult at first, but it is actually very easy to do. To disinfect your child's toys simply soak them in vinegar for a couple of minutes. Wipe them with water to dispel the strong odour and let them air dry. Toys made with unfinished wood should not be cleaned with soap because they are porous, but finished toys (toys with a clear coat, a stain or paint) can be wiped with isopropyl alcohol and then cleaned with a mild soap if they are grimy. Toys should be cleaned often to protect your children's health.

Many wood toys are designed to be educational. Djeco toys come in all different shapes and sizes, from puzzles to play sets, your child will have the opportunity to practice their creativity. Wooden toys tend to engage children by being inspirational as opposed to plastic toys which are more likely to require specific actions. Most plastic toys today have a "right way" to play with them, or they have a set range of operations that they can carry out. Djeco wooden toys allow children to create their own situations giving them play time that provides unique and important learning experiences.
