HABA On the Farm Playset—Imagination Central!

Posted by: Erin Jun 7 2012 On the lookout for eco-friendly, wooden toys for your child? HABA Toys are a must! HABA On the Farm Play Set is the perfect first pretending set for your toddler. Designed for ages one-and-a-half and up, it’s suitable for the youngest of imaginations. HABA uses materials that withstand the test of time making the On the Farm Play Set a toy set that can be passed from one generation to the next.

Our products are not only attractively designed, but children also find them fun to play with. That’s why HABA products keep the interest of generation after generation. Our quality and production standard ensures that our products remain timeless. We are always on the look out for new types of products and materials. We do, however, put a premium on materials that can be manufactured on an ecologically beneficial basis. We use primarily indigenous maple and beech wood and water-based paints for our toys. We also use fabric, felt, leather, cardboard and glass.

The On the Farm Play Set stands up to the test of toddlers. The pieces are wooden, so they can withstand being held by little fingers. Some toys are frustrating for a toddler, trying to get them to stay upright. Not the On the Farm Play Set animals! The pieces are chunky, which makes them very easy for toddlers to grasp and stand up. Another feature I love about the HABA On the Farm Play Set animals is the detail of each wooden piece. Each piece is painted in detail with water-based paints. You’re not left guessing what each animal is! The front and backsides of the animals are painted as cute as can be! You’ll notice in the pictures that Christopher is playing with the farm animals right on some scenery. This is actually the box that On the Farm Play Set comes in! Isn’t that fantastic? The box folds open to be the actual farm. It is thicker than typical cardboard and has a magnetic component in the lid to keep it secured while shut. I think the box doubling as play scenery is my favorite feature. Anyone who has a toddler knows that cleaning up can be difficult sometimes. But not with the HABA On the Farm Play Set! When it’s time to clean up, simply have your toddler or preschooler place the items back in the box and close up! HABA strives to provide quality products that are eco-friendly. Browsing their website, I found countless items  I want to add to my home, and I’m sure you will, too! You can also follow HABA on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. *I received this product for review but the opinions are my own.
