        abstract = {Wooden toys have played an essential role in the cultural, educational, and creative development of children across generations. This paper explores the historical evolution of wooden toys, their socio-cultural significance, the craftsmanship involved in their production, and the environmental advantages they offer in comparison to modern plastic alternatives. 
The research paper offers the detailed analysis of how wooden toys are not just simple plaything but they are essential tools for the overall development of a child. Their role in promoting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social growth has been recognized by educators, child psychologists, and parents alike. Through a focused analysis of Indian wooden toy industries, particularly in regions like Channapatna, Varanasi, and Kondapalli, the paper highlights how these toys are not only tools of play but also reflections of heritage, art, and sustainability.},
