If so, why and how? I would like some insight from preschool/Montessori teachers or daycare providers. Thanks
Answer
Some toys are better made of wood.
Wooden blocks are best to start with, and for advanced builders. They make good sounds when knocked over by older infants / younger toddlers, and school age kids can build very elaborate towers with them.
The wooden Thomas the trains are the best. Kids prefer them. They are "kid powered" so the kids actively use them, not just watch them go like battery operated ones. They feel solid in their hands.
Wood acts differently from plastic, and feels different. A variety of textures can only help their brains grow.
I have to agree, what type of toy doesn't teach kids something? I do give many toys for specific skills etc. but if they are handling something with their hands, they are learning.

My mother in low would like to get us a wooden toy chest, saying that they are great to keep all toys organized and that it will help my kids to keep their room nice and clean. I am not sure if it is gona work and if my kids will like it. This wooden toy boxes seem to be very bulky... Do you have one? Would you suggest it?

We have got our first wooden toy box when my son just turned one year old... It is a really life saver... All our toys are now in one place, plus we got a toy chest with 3 dividers, so no mess at all. We got a toy box of real solid wood and it blends into our room decor just perfectly.
