Wooden construction toys

 

— from wood, both simple sets (like a set of “bricks” from which various structures are built) and rather complex sets for older age categories can be made. From the general properties of this material, one can single out, on the one hand, pleasantness to the touch and low weight, combined with good strength, on the other hand, the tendency to accumulate moisture and deform at the same time. The latter is especially characteristic of wood that does not have special coloring and processing — it is usually found in the complex sets mentioned above. On the other hand, unpainted wood has an interesting appearance and is considered the most natural material.
