There’s always excitement when kids tip over a basket full of Haba blocks. Kids just know (along with everyone else) something good is coming.
True to form, something good always comes from building with classic building blocks - a high rise apartment complex, a mountain peak, a zoo, a castle, a parking lot, a tunnel, a bridge, a football field, a barnyard, a race track, a staircase, a swimming pool, an igloo…Every family benefits from a set of high quality, basic building blocks.
We’re in the toy business. We’ve heard the stories. 99.9% of the time - building blocks become family heirloom toys. Please be choosy about which building blocks you choose. Be picky. You will have them for a long, long, long time. Trust us.
Haba blocks are favorites with many of our customers. Known for being outstanding as high quality, classic building blocks, Haba blocks have quite a reputation. Here’s why:
The quality is superb
The shapes are beautiful and vary widely
Beechwood is lovely to touch and look at
Many blocks make for amazing structures
There is a refreshing, natural feeling to smoothly sanded, untreated wooden blocks
Well-balanced blocks with adequate weight are superb for constructing
Block size is substantial, unlike the size of some other block sets
Children and adults can build and play together
Children and adults can build and play independently
Hardwood blocks can withstand drops and crashes without damage
The fabric bag included is ideal for storage
Haba blocks guarantee hours upon hours of entertainment
Haba blocks are made in Germany

Ages 3+
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

It was a big hit with our granddaughters from the instant that the blocks tumbled out of the bag. They're very well made, and the kids kept building different variations on houses and castles all day. A great

The blocks are of good size and smooth where you don't have to worry about splinters. There are plenty of different shapes and sizes to stimulate the imagination of any child. My grandchildren (1 and 3) absolutely love them.

These HAPA blocks are great. The workmanship is number one. My grandson should enjoy these blocks for years. As he growns, I plan to add to the set. I have found all products from HAPA are first quality and safe for children.
