Since my child­hood I have always loved wood toys and I am try­ing to instill that very same inter­est to my one year old child, aka Piccoletto.

Search­ing the Inter­net for wooden toys I have found Brio Wooden Toys.

Brio is a com­pany with a great her­itage in build­ing wooden toys being estab­lished in 1884 by Ivar Bengtsson.

Going through their web site you will be able to find the best wood toys I have ever seen since now. While I was brows­ing the site I noticed a very inter­est­ing link on right side­bar link­ing to a sec­tion called “Net­work”. I was very intrigued and decided to fol­low the link.

I then found that Brio is build­ing a set of wooden toys that sim­u­late com­puter net­works. These toys can be used to explain to a child how com­puter net­works work in real world with­out even using a real com­puter. A very sim­i­lar set of toys exists for e-​mail, cd burner and com­puter viruses.

I def­i­nitely think this is a very inter­est­ing approach while teach­ing chil­dren com­plex con­cepts. Try­ing to sim­plify com­plex con­cepts is the right way to go.

Any­way I think that there are also sev­eral grown up chil­dren who can effec­tively use this kind of toys
