[P438]Plans For Wooden Toy

by Rony Pollock, Ron

It is a fact of life. With your proper guidance and love aplenty, your child will become a productive adult and pursue an independent life. In his wake, he will leave behind his toys and wooden toy box in your home. You can either give the toys to charity or sell them in a garage sale but whatever will you do with his toy box? Read on and find out.

Clothes Chest

You can store your out-of-season clothes and unused linens in the wooden toy box! Often, your clothes cabinets can fill to the overflowing as the weather seasons pass and the fashion seasons fade. Remember your thick parkas that cannot be stuffed with the rest of your winter clothes? Well then, you can vacuum pack and stuff them inside the toy box till winter comes along.

And remember that fashion styles do come in cycles. You don't need to throw away those paisley-print dresses, boot leg pants and other un-trendy clothes. Just pack it in the toy box and wait for them to become “in” again. Just do your sewing magic on them and you will spend less than you normally would for designer dresses!

Also, toy boxes are great storage containers for unused linens and blankets. You can just shove the toy box into any available space and use the lid for other purposes. How about as a decorative footrest in the spare room? Again, do your magic in redecorating the wooden toy box!

Tool Chest

Your husband will definitely appreciate the wooden toy box as a tool chest. Whereas it was used to organize his little boy's toys, now it will be used to organize the tools for his toys for the big boys. How is that for reverse legacy?

Now, your usually cluttered garage can start getting a semblance of organized chaos that could hopefully turn into Martha Stewart's idea of the perfect garage – clean and organized with nary a speck of wayward grease and a stray tool in sight.

Keepsake Box

If you previously used separate paper boxes to store memorabilia of your courtship and wedding, your kid's childhood mementos, your husband's medals, your size zero dress, photo albums from long ago, and other odds and ends you simply cannot part with, then you need to re-think your storage style.

With the proper installation of dividers in the wooden toy box, you can store all these mementos and memorabilia in just one container. Imagine the convenience of opening just one box and all your life's significant moments are just one click of the lock away. Besides, when a fire rages in your house and you desperately want to save your odds and ends, then you will only be dragging one box instead of juggling many containers.

Of course, with a little more imagination and a few decorating skills, you can always turn the toy box into a shoe box and a bag closet. Just don't stuff dead things and dead people in them!

The bottom line: You can contribute to saving the planet when you recycle your kid's wooden toy box and allow it to have a second lease on life.

The fact that we all know is all kids and children love toys. Even my self, as long as I can remember when I was young, the first toy I had was an airplane made from wood. It was actually can not fly but it was really appreciated me at that time. Since then, wooden toys have become my favorite. However, it's been really long time and now I grew up but I can see the popularity of wooden toy still increasing. Even now, my children love to play wooden toys but for only something that has changed.

According to the fact that there are many types and designs of wooden toys available in the market. We can also see a lot of development of these wooden toys. For example, just only a piece of wood that made in airplane shape in the past now wee can have wooden robot which can actually walk and children can control it to do other things by using remote control. These technological developments demonstrate the greater opportunity for children to learn because they will experience the new thing. However, design of wooden toy also have to be taken into account as there are some issue about safety. Particularly for baby and young children who love to play simple type of wooden toys.

Apart from environment preservation issue that make any kind of wooden material have to be limited in terms of the number of goods productions. In some country, there are very strict law and severe penalty for the manufacturers who produce exceed the quota.

However, that one is the impact in larger scale, but for user, other issue has been raised, safety. This come to my attention since, my little baby got the new wooden doll and get injured by stepping on the rolling wheel of the toy and also injure by the fragment of cracked wood from the same piece of toy. So I would like to share this experience with all parents.

If you are considering to buy wooden toy for you child, especially for little baby or very young children. You may have to consider about its design, which should ensure that it is maximum safe during play the toy. Firstly, have a look at the surface or external condition of the wood. In the market there are many types and grades of wood. Some are processed very neatly. However, you should be care full with some type of wood that not well process, which generally has cheaper price. This should bring to attention because of for the wooden toy that has not been coat the surface, thee will be some sharp fragment crack from the wood's surface and this could harm to children. As you might now that baby or young children always love to take everything into their mouth!!. It is definitely that you just can not risk it and never let it happened to your child.

In summary, you should be careful on the type of wooden toy that may not safe to your child, just to ensure that the toy made from good quality wood and well process as well as having design that safe, such as have no wheels to avoid accident.
