We have been researching lots of traditional wooden toys over summer 2008. There are loads to choose from, and it is always a treat to get away from battery operated toys and games for once. We mostly favoured ones we enjoyed in our own childhoods, but these ended up being popular with our own kids!
We have finished with our top 10, well 11 actually as we could not leave out Tiddlywinks, an age old favourite which, like us, we suspect that you will still want to end up the undefeated winner!
So have a look and send any of your suggestions to feedback@whattoy.com.
