Traditional Toys & Games. Good honest fun

So, why are Traditional Toys, Crafts and Games still popular?

In the days of kids spending hours at their computer playing games or trying out the latest hi-tech gadget there is something rather special about good quality traditional toys that have stood the test of time and are still popular today. There are many traditional toys available such as wooden toys, board games, traditional crafts or role play products like puppets and theatres that encourage children to use their imagination and make up pretend stories.

At Up to the Moon the Traditional and Retro category has become one of our most popular and many of our products have been created to reflect the designs from people's childhood.  Our Amazing Robot Game is recognised by many Grandparents and the Buttonbag craft kits have all been produced in the good, simple old fashioned way to help teach children the basics of sewing and knitting. Wooden toys last for years. don't go out of date when the newest fad has hit the shop and dolls houses, train sets, wooden puzzles and pretend play toys have always been a popular choice with children of all ages. True, they can be more expensive than many modern toys but they will still be looking good in the toybox years from now.

So, why are traditional toys still loved today? Could it be the simple enjoyment you get from playing with them? No lengthy rules or fiddly components, and even better - you don't need to find batteries. It’s just good honest old fashioned fun and good quality products that will last far longer than plastic toys and not go out of date within a few months. There are many classic toys in the markeplace and many are based original designs from parents and grandparents era, although you can have the confidence that they all conform to today's safety standards. Some of the toys have been updated with modern, vibrant colours and contemporary designs which dare I say look even better?.

If you want to see our range of toys that we hand selected just because we thought they were wonderfully traditional and appealed to our sentimental side, look at the  Traditional & Retro collection. A classic toy or game will make a great gift, and it would be great if you could even play with the child and tell them stories of how toys were when you were a child!
