At Toyday we have always been passionate about wooden toys but now more than ever have we seen the importance of making the switch. The shocking images on the recent series of Blue Planet II should be enough to convert anyone. I hate putting loads of black bags out but while sorting out our Children's bedrooms that's where their old broken plastic toys seem to end up. The wooden toys however, still look great and will be packed up into the loft for future generations. I'm going to try not to rant too much but we do seem to do it with everything these days. Buy cheap, buy lots and then throw it away when it's done. This is equally true of the toy market as it is of the supermarket and the clothing industry and any other industry. Buying wooden toys doesn't have to be expensive. For example you could start them off with a small railway set and then gradually create a bigger set by collecting all the add on pieces with expansion packs and tunnels. Most parents wo...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was written by Eric Carle and published in 1969. The children's book is about caterpillar who eats its way through a wide variety of food before emerging as a butterfly. Amazingly, the book has sold 30 million copies worldwide. The story highlights different life stages where transformations take place, such as- metamorphosis.  I personally as a child just adored the book, especially my older brother. He would recite the story again and again because he knew it so well.  In our Toyday shop we have the loveliest, Very Hungry Caterpillar wooden pull along for babies and toddlers that I wish myself and my siblings had at a young age! It's a perfect toy for children that know the story and the caterpillar's character. Have a look on our website- www.toyday.co.uk Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Alice

Today I've had three customers, all after another, admiring our different selection of wooden mobiles for their children/nieces/grandchildren. I've noticed how popular they are, especially for couples setting up bedrooms before the baby is due. It adds such a sweet quality to a room whether it's for a girl or a boy. They remind me a lot of my childhood in which I would stare for hours at the wooden one above my bed.  Our mobiles are made out of wood and are very multi-coloured, giving them a very vintage and traditional look!  I also love our different mobile themes such as, a princess mobile , farm mobile and my most favourite mobile- the noah's ark mobile. We also have individual birds with flapping wings such as, seagulls and parrots . Check out all of our mobiles on our Toyday website- www.toyday.co.uk
