HABA Animal Parade Wooden Blocks – 25 Piece Building Block Set (Made in Germany)

Lions, Tigers, and Bears, (and More), Oh My!
Wood blocks that even an adult wants to build with. A child’s future starts with the power of simple wooden blocks.The blocks have a fantastic finish, which on one hand is durable, on the other delicate. The blocks are not to be immersed in water and no chemicals to use to clean, not even baby wipes, as the ingredients might affect the water-based finish, such as softening up the finish causing them to become tacky. The cleaning suggestion is a warm damp rag that has as its solution a water and vinegar essence (germ killer) mix. We are talking just a few drops in a quart of water kind of mix.These (25) durable, solid, incredibly smooth, colorful, made in Germany, beechwood building blocks, themed as cute animals, a: lion, tiger, bear, giraffe, crocodile, and zebra are the three (3) dimensional foundational building blocks to develop our childrens’ hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, spatial awareness and reasoning.These simple blocks are powerful learning tools. Haba blocks help to develop our children’s’ creativity, assist in their efforts at problem solving and engineering skills, build on their critical thinking skills, and help them to develop social competence (got to share).Haba blocks allow children to build, build, build, using the animal parade theme as their background. The characters keep our children interested and enthused. Wondering where is that lion or tiger or bear or giraffe or crocodile, or zebra are in all those wooden blocks, of different shapes and sizes.These blocks help our children to be more creative, block by block, encouraging creativity and stimulating their imagination, repeatedly. Our children use their hands in coordination with what they see. This makes them think. The combinations can be very colorful, based on the block’s colors and order of placement. This taxes the thought processes and coordination skills. Their creations are only limited by their imagination, at that moment in time.This is premium priced, compared to simple plastic/rubber blocks. These are made from solid beech wood. Something that may have been around 50+ years ago but is a rarity today. Also, there is a purpose to this, it’s to challenge the mind carefully, logically, and methodically. Yes, we would select these colorful, fun, entertaining, and mind challenging blocks again, and we have, but different theme…Within reason, we try to present to our children, everything that assists in their development, as it’s a big competitive world out there. These are sturdy, will last for years, and makes a great gift.We hope our thoughts assisted in any decision.

Excellent
I was a little skeptical that this sells for $199… but after seeing these (and how the children use them), I understand.Yes, they are blocks. The materials alone are not expensive and you could conceivably make them. But there would be the time involved, etc. But that’s true of orthodontics too – the materials aren’t expensive but you’re paying for expertise. In this case, it’s the field-tested, well though out balance of shapes, sizes, etc.Compared with other wooden block sets that we already have (which the kids love and use), this set is the clear winner (and the kids have no idea of the price). They take to it. The shapes, handling sizes, etc, are clearly “designed” and were probably site tested & refined for kids.A word on open ended play – we love it. It yields creativity, and helps imagination. I much prefer to hear the kids playing with blocks than just about any other toy – and notice all ages, including adults, joining in with them. Certainly beats any kind of electronic, or movie-driven toy.Literally the nicest set of blocks I’ve seen. It kept my children and friends children interested for hours.We’ve had a great experience with this brand. Highly recommend.

Wonderful colorful blocks!
I love all of Haba’s black sets, and this one is so fun for toddlers who love animals. The blocks are made from sturdy beech wood and feel smooth in your hands. The colors are bright and engaging. The animals all have wonderful smiling expressions for engaging play. You can create your own unique animals or make typical animal shapes. The different shaped blocks allow for creative stacking and building. These make a wonderful gift to last for years.

Wir haben es verschenkt…und alle sind im Spiel Fieber..Klein aber auch wie die Großen…

Das Set wird mit 25 Bausteinen aus Holz geliefert. Darin sind 6 Bauklötze, die als Tierköpfe gestaltet sind: Krokodil, Zebra, Bär, Giraffe, Löwe und Tiger.Für Kinder in den alter (ab 18 Monate) ist so etwas immer ganz besonders und aufregend.Die Bauklötze sind echt super. Sie fördern die Feinmotorik, Geschicklichkeit, Kreativität und regen zumDenken an.Aber auch die Qualität und Design stimmen. Sie sind sicher abgerundet, so dass sich das Kind nicht an Kanten o.ä. verletzten kann.Alles in einem 5 Sterne★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ich versuche meine Bewertungen so ausführlich und informativ wie möglich zu gestalten und meine ehrliche Meinung abzugeben, um Amazon Kunden die Entscheidung zu erleichtern und Ihnen einen kleinen Einblick für den Gebrauch des Produktes zu ermöglichen.
