When you have a small house or apartment, it is especially nice not be over run by toys! Even a large home can sometimes feel overwhelmed by toys everywhere. There are a few approaches you can take to avoid the toy invasion. You can limit the toys. I try to do this by once a month weeding out the toys that aren’t getting played with anymore and donating them. I also limit the toys in our house by buying quality toys over quantity. Another approach that I find helpful is choosing toys that are pleasant to look at. That is one reason I love wooden toys so much- besides being a more natural, eco-friendly toy option, they are also less intrusive in a space than colorful, loud, plastic toys. Here are 5 space saving toys you and your children are sure to love.

Mader Wooden Spinning Tops
The Mader wooden spinning tops are made in Austria and they come in a wide variety of shapes. Get a few different types so you child can learn how the shape affects the spin! They are all easy to store and these space saving toys are simple, amusing, and inspiring as they demonstrate principles of physics.
Nanodants Wooden Animal Puzzle
Nanodants are pretty amazingly cool. I just love how they are basically a space saving toy that serves as both a 3D animal puzzle and as an animal figurine that the kids can play imaginative games with once they assemble him. They come in several animal choices.
Cuboro Basis Wooden Marble Run
My whole family loves this ingenious building block and marble run toy from Switzerland. Cuboro allows endless combinations and designs and is a Spiel Gut, Popular Toy Award winner. Cuboro is truly a “heritage toy” that can be passed from one generation to the next.
