Liewood Buying Guide

Are money related toys good for kids?

There's no definitive answer to this question since it depends on the child's individual personality and interests. Some children might be interested in money-themed toys, such as toy money or cash registers, and learn a lot from playing with them, while other children might not be as interested and prefer toys that are more straightforward way to learn, for example, a Liewood abacus to learn counting.

As a general rule, money-themed toys can be a fun way for children to learn basic concepts about currency, counting, and spending/saving money. However, it is important to use all toys in a way that is positive and educational for children.

For younger children, simple games like counting coins or sorting bills can be a fun way to introduce basic money concepts. As kids get older, they can start learning about budgeting, investing, and other complex financial concepts. At the end of the day, it's up to parents to decide whether money-related toys are right for their kids. But if used correctly, these toys can be a valuable tool for teaching important life skills.

Should I buy a toy phone for my child?

Whether or not to buy a toy phone for your child is a personal decision. Some parents feel that it's a helpful tool for teaching their children about phone etiquette and how to use one, while others believe that it is better to wait until their kids are an older age. Ultimately, it comes down to what you think is best for your child.

Ultimately, it depends on what you're hoping to accomplish with the toy phone. If you want your child to learn how to use a phone, then a toy can be a helpful tool. But if your goal is simply to keep your child occupied, there are many other options available that may be of more interest.

What products help keep babies engaged?

This depends largely on the age and interests of your little one, however there are a few general things you can do to keep your baby entertained and engaged in certain activities. For example, during meal times, if your child is showing little interest in their food, you can increase their enjoyment by incorporating fun elements, such as entertaining cutlery like character spoons or Liewood animal shaped wooden plates. 

You can also encourage children to wear items of clothing that they may otherwise struggle with, including shoes and hats. Products such as the sea creature sun hat and the glitter jelly shoes. Adding a funky element such as bright colours or prints will help your little one engage more with these items and be less averse to wearing something they would otherwise not enjoy.  

Another to keep babies and young children engaged is perhaps the most obvious - toys! If you are travelling or visiting a new place, bringing along some of their favourite toys is a sure way to keep them occupied.

Things to consider when buying kids shoes 

Fit - Luckily Liewood Sandals feature a nickel free adjustable buckle and press button fastening to make sure these shoes  will fit snugly and comfortably, but it should be noted that sandals may fit slightly differently to trainers or boots so it is always a good idea to get your little ones feet properly measured to ensure you are buying the appropriate size.

Trip hazards - kids shoes need to be sturdy enough to support their growing feet and wonky balance. You therefore want the shoes you buy to be easy to put on but also secure. Buying shoes such as Liewood Bre Sandals that feature a strap and fastening will reduce the risk of shoe related trips and offer maximum comfort to growing feet. 

Care Instructions for Liewood Sandals

While these products are designed to be durable and long lasting, here are some tips to help keep your Liewood sandals looking and performing their best:

• To clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Be sure to rinse and dry completely before storing.
• If a stubborn stain occurs, spot clean with soap or a very mild detergent.
• If the products are submerged in water, allow them to dry thoroughly before use so no damp related problems can occur.
• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Somewhere directly out of high heat and sunlight will ensure the colours are just as long lasting as the products themselves. 
• Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, which could cause scratches or other damage.
