One of the core corporate philosophies of Habermass, maker of Haba wood toys, is to develop products not only of remarkable design but also durable enough to provide pleasure for generations. Right from the first idea up to the final product, all their wooden toys come from the town of Bad Rodach in Upper Frankonia, Germany. Their toys standards are based on playing, quality, materials used, and most of all safety.
Numerous HABA games and toys have been the recipients of quality marks and toy awards. Haba toys are typically made of maple and beech wood which Haba believes that these natural materials are the most suitable for their European toys.
Haba also designs their toys with the idea that playing should be fun, not only for a little while but over a longer period of time as well. A good toy allows a lot of freedom for a child's imagination and creativity. All HABA products meet the requirements of the European Safety Standards for toys which are stricter guidelines than the American Safety Standard laws. When you purchase a European toy from Haba, you know you have purchased quality.
The makers of European toys, in particular, Habermass, have made the continuous evaluation of environmental standard part of their corporate culture. Other manufacturer's are now following suit.
Hooray! carefully selects quality toys from top manufacturers that are both safe and educational. This is why we have chosen to carry Haba wood toys. Other quality toy brands that Hooray! stocks includes Plan Toys. This modern corporate company has risen to the environmental challenge by growing and farming their own rubber trees to avoid destroying natural forests. These are truly progressive companies trying to go green. And, at Hooray! we are always scouting the market for these quality toy companies with philosophies that keep our children safe and choose to lower their impact on mother Earth.
For both American and European childrens clothing, going green shouldn't be just a fashion statement. But sometimes it takes a small reminder to have society focus on the bigger picture. That is why we have in stock a 100% natural organic cotton baby onsie with "Keep my carbon footprint small." This adorable onsie for a newborn baby is sure to remind everyone of their duties as a citizen of the world. We applaud the green standards that many companies are adopting today. And, slowly the American children's companies are beginning to go green and follow the European toy makers and European childrens clothing makers' standards.
