Why Choose Organic Cotton and Wooden Baby Toys?

Come see us in store

When you’re choosing toys for your baby, you’ll find many plastic, battery-operated, or screen-based toys – so we offer an alternative. At Rainbow Fun, we sell organic baby toys made of natural materials such as cotton and wood so that your child has creative, educational toys to play with, not just screens. There are several reasons to choose organic baby toys, including:

Creativity

Organic, screen-free toys invite creative play that keeps kids engaged. The open-ended play these toys encourage provides your child with endless possibilities for each toy. These toys also help your child learn focus because they don’t do the thinking for your child – instead, it’s up to your child to use their imagination and come up with fun scenarios for pretend play that will teach and entertain them all at once. Natural toys also allow for quiet play. This downtime is essential for little ones. Screens and electronic gadgets can be a source of constant stimulation; natural toys offer a rejuvenating break.

Mental Health

Toys with lots of battery-generated effects can be overstimulating. Loud music or sounds, blinking lights, and automatic movements can be too much for a young child to process. Also, pressing a button to make sounds and lights appear teaches simple cause and effect and misses an excellent opportunity to facilitate more imaginative play. Children often respond well to the calmer, quieter environment created by natural toys, rather than the overstimulated or checked-out mentality screen-based gadgets and devices can foster. Furthermore, children – like adults – are drawn to nature and natural materials. Touching a natural material such as wood or cotton can have a positive psychological effect on a child.

Physical Health

There is concern among consumers and researchers alike that certain plastics may have detrimental effects on physical health. Some phthalates, for instance, have been linked to certain cancers. Some individuals with allergies or asthma may also be sensitive to certain plastics. Even cotton, when grown non-organically, can contain harsh pesticides and fertilisers. These chemicals are not only potentially harmful to the consumer, but also to the environment. Especially when buying toys for small children and babies, who tend to put things into their mouths, it’s best to choose natural options such as organic wooden baby toys.

Environmental Health

Wooden, bamboo, cotton, and other natural materials are durable and long-lasting. That means that fewer of these toys have to be manufactured over time. These materials are also recyclable and biodegradable. Organic farming practices benefit our planet as well as the consumers who use various natural products – including your baby.
