Waldorf toys
The creator and exponent of Waldorf pedagogy was the Austrian Rudolf Steiner. By playing, the child experiences the world and makes it his own. The gateway to the world is formed by the senses. The more varied and "real" the sensory experiences are, the more "truly" the child's engagement with creative play can develop. Waldorf pedagogy aims to awaken the new brain to life in a harmonious and natural way, through free play.
He stands as the creator and light giver of this principle-idea and continues to inspire and educate, so that the developing man-child can know his true self.
"Our highest endeavor is to develop free human beings capable of themselves to give a direction, to teach a purpose to their lives" – Rudolf Steiner
For this reason, the wooden toy occupies a special place among other toys for children. Unlike plastic toys, wooden toys, as a material derived from nature, allow for rich sensory perception. The surface of the wood can be felt as the grain and cavities of the wood can be perceived and discovered. The smell and warmth of wood stimulate the senses and its weight is important for enhancing children's perception.
High-quality wooden toys with natural colors are also ideal for babies, as they can put the toy in their mouth without hesitation.
