Wooden toy chests can not only be a delight for your child, but also serve a valuable function. Toy chests not only add to the room's décor, but they keep all your child's play items out of the way, adding more space to the room. They can be in a variety of different shapes and sizes, from regular block styles to products that look like pirate chests, fire trucks, or even a circus animal cage, just to name a few. There are chest that do well for boys as well as girls. Girl chests can have light pastel colors and designs, like cats, castles and even horses.
When it comes to wooden toy boxes there are a few things you need to watch for. One of them is safety. The toy chests you consider should be made from high quality materials, like hard wood. The chest itself should also be securely made, and not have wheels. The finish should be a non toxic paint or stain, and have a clear finish for easy cleaning.
Toy Chest Bench
There are other safety features to consider when buying wooden toy chests as well. The hinges should be a one piece piano hinge, with no sharp edges. They should be heavy duty so they will last a long time. The lids should have a space between where the lid meets the toy chest's top, so that if the lid happens to close unexpectedly, it won't smash the child's fingers. There should never be a latch on the lid, because if your child get's inside to play, the lid closes and can't be opened, your child could suffocate. All the edges of the entire toy box should also have rounded edges.
Another consideration when it comes to wooden toy chests is size. Just because your child may be small now, without a lot of toys, doesn't mean that they won't have more as they grow. The toy boxes have to have enough rooms for later down the line, so you don't have to keep buying them as your child's needs grow. While there are many different styles of chests, you may want to consider one that also doubles as a seat. These types of chests serve a dual purpose, and can be more cost effective.
Here are a few wood toy box to choose from. For girls there is the toy chest with a cloud back, this is a large bench seat style chest with a raised back in the shape of a billowing cloud. It is a really good starter size at 29" long, and both 15" high and deep. It features solid wood construction that is handcrafted. It also features a safety lid that won't pinch your child's finger. This product in available in either pink or white and sells for 5.
Another toy chest offering is the Dumptruck Toy Chest. What better place to put their toys than in a real dump truck? It is mounted on casters so it can be moved around the room, and is available in red, yellow and blue. The whole thing measures 36"x17"x19.5", with a usable area of 15"x13"x21" at the mid point of the box. This too is hand crafted from hard wood. This product also sells for 5.
While you may think that some of these wooden toy chests are a little expensive, consider their durable construction. This means that they will last through your child's life, and can be handed down to their children in the future. As with all products you buy, you need to check around for the best prices, as well as safety features of toy chests.
