About HABA: The stuff that play dreams are made of. In 1938 HABA started out as a “Factory for fine wooden toys”. Today we find that toys don’t always need to be wooden, but they do always need to be right for children! It all began with finely polished wooden toys, colorful that were “finely sanded and polished wonderfully smooth, just right for tender children’s hands,” as the 1939 catalogue emphasized. Today these blocks are still part of our product palate. But the factory for fine wooden toys has been transformed into “the producer of inventive playthings for inquisitive minds.” All have one thing in common: our attention to detail makes each item special and unique. HABA wants to playfully support children’s development, make their lives happier, more exciting, and full of the delight of discovery: to put it simply, to make their world a little more child-friendly. How do we aim to fulfill this high expectation we have placed on ourselves? With first-class quality and safety! Our designers add their impressive imaginations to the mix, and a wide variety of HABA toys and games have been honored with awards for exceptional design. Since 1993, no fewer than six HABA games received the “Children’s game of the Year” award.
