Wonders of Wooden Toys

During our childhood plastic toys didn't have such a wide reach in the market. I still remember playing with wooden toys, spring powered metal cars or imagining cardboard boxes or wooden pieces as toys. The texture, feel, color and smell of these toys cannot be replaced by the plastic toys of the present time. 
Toys might be becoming smart but they are becoming soulless and there is not much of affection, The toy industry is becoming too commercial. Trying to bring a new toy with every movie release. The way toys are priced now a days keep them out of the reach of a common man. India had a rich tradition of handmade, interesting and frugal toys. Maybe kids need to be given a chance to play with them again or to make their own toys. Making or being a part of making the toys may help kids develop a sense of belonging, co working and affection.
