HABA has been producing high-quality wooden toys in Germany since 1938. Their first product--a set of colorfully polished building blocks made from locally sourced hardwoods--is still produced today. Since then the company has added a huge range of baby rattles, play kitchen products, games, puzzles, and toys for all ages.

Heirloom Quality: Each HABA product is produced with superb craftsmanship and rigorous quality control standards. The result is toys that do not break and colors that will not fade, chip, or crack--even through years of vigorous play!

Safety: HABA makes safety a top priority. The company's wooden toys are finished with water-based, solvent-free lacquers that are safe for a child's mouth. Multiple finish layers make the surfaces extremely resistant to wear and tear, and still allow the natural warmth of the wood grain to show through.
