The Wood Shop (Loja do Wood) aims to expand the diversity and specificity of educational wooden toys in the Portuguese market, responding to growing demand for traditional, ecological and durable toys.
Hello!
My name is Wood and I´m here to talk about the wonderful world of the educational toys made of wood!
We, the toys of Woodoland, have today, a strong competition of the technological toys, but we don´t let ourselves be overcome by them!
Nowadays, people think that the children only want to play with tablets, console of games, computers and other, but that isn´t true! We are extremely important in the children's life, especially in the first years of life. This is a fundamental period in the childhood global development (motor, cognitive and emotional), whose starting point is, above all, the interaction with the external world. The child is born with an intrinsic need of acting and is through playing that expressed, communicates and interacts with the world around.
It is through the manipulation of different objects that she improves the balance, coordination of movements and the gestural precision , and acquires cognitive notions of distance (far away / close, long / short), position (in low / on top), greatness (larger / smaller, big / small) and situation (on top / in low, ahead / behind), among many other! All these acquisitions will be the base of the school learnings in future.
Remains unclear what all this technological invasion alters the overall development of the child, but one thing is certain: those luminous tablets, that need to be always linked to the record (ecological, therefore!), nothing enrich manipulative and social skills of children as well as we know that the impact of blue light of our competitors is nothing positive for the visual system of children!
The wooden toys, family of I proudly do part, usually have a very long life, and we love to pass for the different generations of each family!
Wood's store will work, in a first phase, only online, and with educational toys made of wood exclusively.
In this moment we have three major suppliers of toys, and our goal is to provide products not available
yet in our national market, with competitive prices.
The store will have a solidarity side. For each sold toy, 0,20 € will be donated to an institution: "Ajuda de Berço". The value donated, will be published quarterly in the homepage of the store.
