The best natural toys for kids are the ones that encourage imaginative play. It’s also best if they’re made from natural materials. Here are a few of our favorite natural toys.
I’ve always preferred toys made with natural materials. Not only are they beautiful, but they just feel good to play with.
Waldorf toys are some of our favorites, because they are so beautiful and they fulfill my requirements for natural toys.
Natural toys are like works of art to me, and I love to see them displayed in our home. They’re the toys that will be kept and passed down from one generation to the next.
Best Natural Toys for Kids
When I’m shopping for natural toys, I look for toys made with wood, silk, and wool.
I look for toys that encourage open-ended, imaginative play.
Some of my favorite natural toys for kids include wooden blocks, a wooden dollhouse, dolls, dress-up clothes, and playsilks.
Especially playsilks!
Playsilks are some of the best natural toys for kids, because there are so many different ways to use them.
You can use them to build a fort, make a cape, or wrap up a favorite doll or stuffed animal.
With some imagination, a playsilk can become almost anything!
Sarah’s Silks Play Frame
Recently, Sarah from Sarah’s Silks sent us one of her beautiful Wooden Play Frames. When it arrived, I couldn’t wait to put it together (and it only took me a few minutes to assemble).
She also sent us a Fort Kit, which contains a Giant Silk Scape and four Wooden Play Clips.
The Fort Kit is just what you need to turn the Wooden Play Frame into the perfect hideaway for a child.
The Play Frame is a simple wooden frame that you can drape blankets or playsilks over to create a fort or a playhouse, a puppet theater, and more.
There are several different ways you can drape the playsilk over the play frame. If you drape it over the top, it makes a cozy space for playing or reading.
My son has already spent hours in his fort! He especially loves to sit in it with our guinea pig, JoJo. They like to read books and eat snacks in their secret hideaway.
JoJo likes the play fort too! If we drape blankets around all four sides, she likes to walk around and explore.
If you set the Play Frame up differently (draping a playsilk over the front of it), it makes the perfect puppet theater.
The Play Frame is easy to put together and it folds up compactly when you need to store it.

In addition to the Play Frame and playsilks, Sarah’s Silks makes many other natural toys for kids, including adorable dress-up items and the Wavee Board.

We would love the giant playsilk and clips !!
We love ours!
More cotton blossom cloths!
Those are beautiful!
I would get the water board. I have had my eye on this toy for years.
Such a versatile toy. My kids would love that too. 🙂
Love the wavee board, I know some kids that would be on that all the time. And the giant rainbow silk scarf is so amazing.
I know, it’s awesome! I’d love to have one of those too!
I love the way you set up your play frame fort Joy! And JoJo is adorable (your son too!).
Thanks for your kind words and for hosting the giveaway.
Thank you, Sarah! And thanks so much for sponsoring the giveaway!
Ooohhh! My children would love the wavee board!
It looks like so much fun!
They look beautiful!
I know, so many beautiful items to choose from!
I would order the parachute and pocket play silks (or larger size), streamers and wands, a silk baby blanket would be great, and more!
Thank you for this giveaway.
Mary
Any of those would be lovely! Thanks so much for entering the giveaway, Mary!
If I won, I would get either a wavee board or a fort kit. I like the idea of the wavee board, but I can see my children fighting over it and the fort kit can be used by more than one at a time.
That’s a good point about more than one being able to use the fort kit. Several of my children love to get in ours at a time (and it’s big enough that I can sit in it too!).
I love the silk wings and the Baby Loveys.
I love those too! The baby loveys are adorable.
