Toddlers love to make noise. One smart factor about a toddler is you recognize where they're when you'll be able to hear them, but when it's quiet......you know that it's time to start out checking things out! Another recent wooden toy that toddlers love could be a wood hammer and peg set. I still have mine that I received for my initial birthday. It is now setting on a shelf for display. This tiny set has wood dowel rods and a picket hammer that the kid will pound and then turn the sport over and start pounding again. The most effective one that I have seen includes a tiny leather strap that attaches the hammer to the peg set thus the hammer will not get separated. My daughter has this set at her daycare center and it is a game that is played with often. It is interesting to watch the eyes of the toddler lightweight up when seeing their accomplishment of pounding the pegs through.
