Toy materials for wooden toys
The most common materials for wooden toys sold in the domestic market are: pine, lotus, alder, alder plywood, MDF (wood composite board, often called density board), beech, rubber wood.
Pine: The cheapest (imported), lighter, whiter, with a larger wood grain and easier to crack than other woods.
Lotus: most commonly used as wooden toys, the price is higher than pine, high density, heavier, uniform texture, drop resistance.
Alder: beige, light weight, no wood grain, drop resistance, the price is more expensive than the upper two.
Alder plywood: easy to cut, commonly used to make wooden puzzles.
MDF: MDF, easy to cut, brown, commonly used in wooden toys (painted), cheap.
Beech: The grain is uniform, and the cross section is a bit like rice grains, little by little, the price is higher than the lotus, and it is also resistant to falling.
Rubber wood: Toys made from this kind of wood have many exports. They are mainly used by young children. They feel very good and are very safe.
In addition, imported wood is generally more expensive than domestic wood, which is better. Whether it is resistant to falling depends on whether it has been dried before processing. Drying is time control. Time is not well controlled, and often the wood will crack.
Wooden toys are mainly used above. Overall, wooden blocks are quite resistant to falling. Considering the price / performance ratio, Lotus is the best and most practical.
