Surprisingly, there are not that many suppliers in the UK who provide good quality wooden toy boxes, but if you look around you can find a few. Prices range from around £50 to £150 depending on size, quality and design and they are mainly available by mail order.
Many parents are going back to the old style of toys for their kids and one of the first things they buy are wooden toy boxes. These boxes are not just for children and toys, if a wooden storage box is personally engraved, it also makes the perfect gift for any special occasion, including weddings, retirement, graduation, and more. Wooden toy boxes are strong and extremely durable, can take any abuse you might give them and are usually made of solid wood, so the bottom will never give way when stuffed with toys. A wide variety of toy boxes made from teak, rosewood, mahogany and maple are popular, and although these are expensive they add aesthetic value to a child's room and are built to last. Additionally, these boxes are not only a great way to store away children's toys, but also a great way to let a child be creative and decorate the box to his or her own liking. If a box has an imaginative design, it is a great way to encourage kids to pick up their toys, and these wooden toy boxes are a classic complement to any room and come in a variety of wood finishes, which lets you match it to the style of your child's room or select a finish that will stand the test of time as a family heirloom. Wooden boxes are generally designed to ensure children's little fingers and hands do not get trapped in the top, making them perfect storage answer in any child's bedroom.

If you want to jazz up your wooden box, select one that's available in colours that please both you and your child and what child wouldn't love seeing his or her name on the chest, personalizing with a name or phrase is a great way to make your child feel special. Also you can buy a toy box that can double as a seat with a padded top, which can save space in a small nursery or bedroom or even one with wheels, so it can be easily moved around and they are guaranteed to outlast the flimsy plastic designs. It is even possible to have a toy box made to your own design and from your own choice of materials.
All in all, I think we are seeing a return to the more traditional wooden toys and this, I believe, is a good thing enabling children to see the craftsmanship and design that has gone into making the product rather than a block of moulded plastic.
