30 Homemade DIY Toys for Kids

When I first started making toys at home, it wasn't easy. I had to find materials that were safe and designs that were simple yet interesting for kids. Over time, I learned how to create toys that not only kept my children engaged but also helped them learn and grow. From puzzles that improve their problem-solving skills to dolls that encourage empathy and caring, the process became a meaningful part of our family time.

One of my favorite projects was building a small wooden car. The joy on my kids' faces when we painted and decorated it together was priceless. It wasn't about the toy being perfect, but about the memories we created while making it. This experience taught me that the best toys aren't always the ones you buy but the ones you make with love.
