When you have offered to babysit for your friend’s small child or for a relative, you may suddenly feel quite unequipped for the task.The idea of keeping a child entertained and happy seems too difficult and you wonder what you could have been thinking of when you offered.

In order to make sure that you and your small friend or relative have a good time and enjoy yourselves, it is a good idea to do some preparation for the visit. Some advance planning will ensure you are ready for feeding, sleeping, changing and playing.

You can create some enjoyable games with wooden toys. There are wooden puzzles, pull toys and animals, so there is a variety to choose from and entertain a young visitor. While they are active and energetic, they can play with wooden pull toys and you have a chance to get on with preparing the meal, then later, when they are a little more tired, you can do a wooden puzzle together.

Here at My Natural Wooden Toys we have wooden toys to suit all tastes, whether brightly coloured or natural finish and energetic or more sedate. Choosing some wooden toys to keep at home for those occasions when you have small visitors is great fun, as you decide between the various wooden toys and wooden puzzles on offer. You could decide on traditional toys or more modern ones. What they all have in common that they are natural and safe for children and are enjoyable to play with.

Children love wooden toys and once they know the wooden toys you have ready for them, they will look forward to visits from you and will want you to play with the wooden toys as soon as they arrive. Any fears about not being able to keep them entertained will be completely groundless.
