Educational Wooden Toys

Educational Wooden Toys appear to be departing the scene of childhood innocence as high tech toys and plastic fabrications take over our children's hands and minds. Yes these toys may be less expensive but we pay for it in other ways. Batteries are costly, broken nobs and thing a mic jigs usually cause us to have to replace the toy sooner than expected. Our children's resilience seems to exceed that of the toys. Yet wooden educational toys, created to challenge our children's fine and gross motor skills, problem solving capability, and their interaction skills at a slightly higher cost is becoming obsolete in this day and age of plastic and high tech toys. Have we simply succumbed to inflation and advertising?
