Naturally colored wooden toys
A baby elephant has only a few hours to learn how to walk after its birth. Then the herd moves on. Almost all mammals have to learn how to move on their own in a very short time. The big exception are the primates. Especially for the humans, this process takes a little longer. Until the first steps are made, often a year passes by. While the learning curve of the Homo sapiens is not very steep at first glance, it goes upward constantly over the next few decades and ends in the ideal case only at an advanced age. Both motor and intellectual abilities can evolve throughout a person’s life. Infants take some time before they tackle the major challenges of life. During the first months they need the help of mom and dad in every department. For new parents the first year with their child is one of the most beautiful but also the most stressful.
During the first 12 months the bundle of joy doubles both size and weight. During this time, babies delight their parents every week with something new. Parents never forget the first time when their little whippersnapper has looked them straight in the eye. And one will immediately become hooked on being laughed at toothlessly but full of pleasure. From the third month on, most babies can already independently lift the head. After four months, they grab at objects while lying on the back. The hand-eye coordination starts to improve, and thus the discovery phase begins. Everything and everyone will be touched extensively. And what fits in the hand, is also put in the mouth instantly.
If children are a year old, they can already keep themselves busy for some time. One-year-olds are already able to concentrate on simple tasks. For this reason, toys for inserting and stacking are particularly popular at this age. All the more if different colors and shapes can be combined. That’s how children develop their fine motor abilities. But they are not fussy while playing. The toys are hit against each other repeatedly because they crack so beautifully. And they also have to serve for trying out the new milk teeth every now and then. Unlike most plastic toys, toys made of wood can measure up to this challenge. Wood simply feels good. That's why even adults find it hard to hold back when wooden blocks lie on the table. A gate, a fence or a small house is built quickly.
That wooden toys are not only stable but can look really great as well, is demonstrated by the colorful organic range of Nic. Sustainability is very important to the wooden toys manufacturer from southern Germany. Therefore exclusively FSC/PEFC-certified wood is used for their organic range. These are treated with natural oils, usually linseed or dehydrated castor oil. Special attention lies on the color scheme of the toys. Nic does not use water-based paints and varnishes, but plant or natural colors based on natural oil.
The Nic Prehensile Car is a colorful, child-friendly baby toy designed for observing and grasping the environment. It promotes the perception, the hand-eye coordination and motor abilities of your child. Just as colorful and mobile is the Nic Prehensile Duck. Their robustness makes them the ideal companion for all children from 1 year on. The Teething Ring by Nic for the little ones is a beautifully colorful. Its soft, rounded shapes attract particularly babies and toddlers. The teething ring is processed in high quality and shines with hand-painted surfaces. The Nic bell reel does not only look nice, it also sounds like good. When it rolls across the floor, you will hear the bright and friendly sound of the bell. Toddlers are always thrilled when they are able to generate sounds throughout movements. In the Nic Baby Reel a wooden ball rattles when shaken or rolled across the floor.
The Nic Plug Pillar Classic is a first project for small builders. With this classic, small children are supported in the development of motor skills and creative thinking. Especially with this toy toddlers can grab shapes, recognize colors, sort sizes by hand and thereby take delight in learning. With Nic wooden toys children are invited early to play creatively. The high-quality processing ensures that you and your children will enjoy this toy for a long time.
