Back in the olden days of our parent’s and grandparent’s youth, toys were either wooden or tin. Ever since the government thankfully removed all those harmful metals and verybadthings, most of the throwback toys in our kid’s generation are made of wood.

Wooden toys are durable, wood toys are safe, and wood is attractive. Melissa & Doug recognizes this and develops toys made of lightweight, safe wood with safe paints free of toxins.

Wooden toys are available and are inexpensive from Good for the Kids. As a Melissa & Doug authorized retailer, you can find a variety of wooden toys in stock, ready to ship to your kids.

Safety of the wooden toys is important to parents and children alike. The safety of Melissa & Doug’s toys is their number one policy as they sign their own names to every toy they manufacture.

Once you go wood, you never go back.
