What are wooden Waldorf toys?

The Waldorf education methodology seeks to make education make more closer to students, to empower them to take part in various activities, to help them learn about new things and the world around them.

The Waldorf education seeks to engage students in various activities, make them see the beauty of the world around them and promote creative play. The Waldorf kindergartens usually have lots of natural wooden toys, displays of various toys and pinecones in every classroom. Sometimes, children can work together with teachers, cooking, sewing and doing handicrafts.

Today, there is around 1,000 Waldorf kindergartens and schools around the world with the movement growing in popularity every year. These educational institutions are very different from conventional schools as they promote hands-on activities, focus on artistic development and freedom to disagree with other students or teachers. Teaching in line with Waldorf methods can make a real difference in your child’s ability to adapt, empathize and respect differing opinions otherwise. Thus, students learn to be more tolerant and striving to work together with people around them rather than compete for the highest mark.
