After years of research, extensive testing and a worldwide design workshop, HaPe International is proud to offer the Bamboo Collection, the world's first collection of bamboo toys. Why did it take years? The challenge with bamboo, a giant natural grass that grows as tall as a tree, is its sensitivity to sawing, cutting, filing, dyeing, temperature and bending. HaPe realized the extensive amount of research and testing required but persevered due to the sustainability of bamboo and its economical and ecological values to the world. Once cut, bamboo grows back completely in a mere three years. Bamboo also combines lightness with stability and is flexible but very strong.

Just like all classics, this durable retro-tin Moonjar Moneybox is timeless and inspires spending, saving and sharing for a lifetime! Comes with a family guide, passbook to track transactions and three moneyboxes. Each moneybox is fitted with a color-coordinated acrylic lid. About Moonjar … Moonjar moneyboxes were created as a tool for children and families to incorporate strong financial values and practices into their daily lives. Launched in 2001 by Eulalie M. Scandiuzzi, a Seattle native. Moonjar moneyboxes are used in homes and schools around the world. Moonjar’s origination was sparked by Mrs. Scandiuzzi’s childhood exposure to the values of hard work, thoughtful decision making and strong financial ethics, paired with an anecdotal remembrance of the Rockefeller family. In his family kitchen, John D. Rockefeller kept three jars for his children’s allowances for saving, spending, and charitable giving. This model of managing money, paired with the legacy of her family’s financial management principles, moved Mrs. Scandiuzzi to create Moonjar. The overwhelming response from Moonjar users; mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, grandparents, retailers, and financial institutions, has enforced the vital need for a fun, accessible, and affordable tool to help change how children develop a basic understanding of good money habits.

Design and Quality of Haba, Germany.
Made in China
About Haba Founded in 1938 by Eugen Habermaass and his wife Luise in Bad Rodach, Germany, Haba has remained a family owned and run company to this day. Their first products were smooth, carefully polished building blocks for babies, made from locally derived hardwoods. These same wooden blocks are still made today, along with a vast array of wooden, cloth and high quality plastic children's products, in everything from room décor to baby rattles, and gifts for children of all ages. -Haba Safety From the moment our children are conceived we devote ourselves to their safety. Pregnant mothers exercise, visit doctors and eat the right food. That responsibility continues long after our babies are born. We examine the formula they drink, the clothes they wear and the cribs in which they dream. But parents can only scrutinize so much. There comes a point when we must be able to trust that the suppliers we purchase baby products from are as equally dedicated to our children’s safety. This includes, to a very large extent, the toys with which our children play. In the wake of the recent multi-million dollar toy recall of Chinese-made products, American parents are wondering “what can I buy that won’t hurt my child?” The answer is family-owned HABA. For over 60 years, this German toy company takes pride in the fact that they would never make a toy that they wouldn’t give to their own children or grandchildren. With the exception of wooden puzzles and the architectural master builder block sets, the wooden toys are all produced in HABA's own factories in Bad Rodach, Germany. Water-based, non toxic stains are used to create colors; no lead paints at HABA. Fabric toys and some plastic items are manufactured for HABA by a few select suppliers that have been certified in accordance with the ICTI Code of Business Practices (www.toy-icti.org). As a matter of fact, every HABA toy complies with the EN 71 European Standard for Toy Safety, the ASTM F963 Standard Consumer Safety Specification in the USA, the EU Directive 76/769EEC on azo-dyes and finally the Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance. That means all of their toys, even those that are produced in China, meet safety standards which are, in some cases, even much stricter than those in the United States. Ever since the Habermaaß and Wehrfritz companies were established in 1938, its companies have focused on working for children. Their aim is to support babies’ development, make their life more exciting, more cheerful and more delightful. This claim is underpinned by the corporate philosophy, "Top-quality products for children to use and enjoy." Not only are HABA’s toys manufactured with children’s safety in mind, they are designed with safety in mind as well. Its quality management has been ISO 9001 certified since 1996. What does that mean? Basically, ISO certification says a company has shown responsibility for the safety of their products in the following ways: • HABA constantly monitors its manufacturing processes to ensure they are producing quality products; • HABA hires an independent testing laboratory to monitor materials on an on-going basis. • HABA checks outgoing product for defects, with appropriate corrective action where necessary; • HABA regularly reviews individual processes and the quality system itself for effectiveness; and • HABA facilitates continual adjustments for improvements to meet and/or exceed the global requirements for toys. But HABA’s social responsibility doesn’t end with making sure our children have safe toys. They also accept that the way they make their products must keep the world in which our children play safe. According to HABA, “We assume responsibility for our environment – that is one of the principles of our corporate philosophy. For us, that means minimizing the ecological impact within the bounds of the financially defensible. We are therefore constantly upgrading our production processes and ascertaining, evaluating and minimizing the use of raw materials, emissions and waste volumes on an ongoing basis.” HABA places great demands on the quality and safety of its products, particularly on the careful selection and processing of the materials. Whenever necessary its products are checked by authorized, independent institutes to ensure their safety. And because HABA believes it is a privilege to make toys for children, they understand how awful it would be to take a beloved toy away from a child because it’s not safe. That’s why they make sure to get it right the first time. Many of its products have been recognized with German and American awards including Parent’s Choice, National Parenting Center, Creative Child, Dr. Toy and Parents’ Guide. HABA received Best Toys of the Year recognition from the TODAY Show Toy Test and has been featured in national magazines such as Child, American Baby, Baby Talk, Fit Pregnancy, Parenting, Parents and Working Mother.

Safety With the high-profile toy recalls this summer, ALEX® is providing the statement below to reassure your customers that we have the best protections in place. Please advise your customers to direct concerned consumers to the ALEX® web site for our position on this situation: Thank you for your interest in ALEX® toys. We appreciate your concern, especially considering the recent recalls for lead paints and loose magnets in children’s products. Please be reassured that we take safety very seriously. We test, and continually test, each of our products thoroughly to make sure that they are safe for children, both in the design of the product and the materials that are used to make them. We test to make sure that there is no lead in any of our products. Most of our toys come from factories that we have been doing business with for many years, and they are partners with us in ensuring the high quality of our products. The toy industry works continuously to strengthen our rigorous testing and inspection procedures and ensure safe toys. While no one likes to see recalls, the industry’s ability to identify problems and recall products is one of the safety valves of the process. The recent recalls are product- and company-specific and do not reflect the fundamental safety of the toys on the shelves. All questions specifically related to those recalls should be directed to the companies involved.

After years of research, extensive testing and a worldwide design workshop, HaPe International is proud to offer the Bamboo Collection, the world's first collection of bamboo toys. Why did it take years? The challenge with bamboo, a giant natural grass that grows as tall as a tree, is its sensitivity to sawing, cutting, filing, dyeing, temperature and bending. HaPe realized the extensive amount of research and testing required but persevered due to the sustainability of bamboo and its economical and ecological values to the world. Once cut, bamboo grows back completely in a mere three years. Bamboo also combines lightness with stability and is flexible but very strong.

As Sherlock goes around and searches the clues, every player tries to remember each of the eight objects hidden in a facedown circle of cards. Then, Sherlock travels from one card to another. Each time Sherlock stops at a facedown card, the player has to remember which object is on that card. Sherlock continues to move, as long as the player guesses correctly. If Sherlock travels to a face-up card, then the player gets to keep that card. The first player to collect six cards wins! This game is a fabulous toy for five year olds out there. It′snot only a wonderful game for social interaction but is also a great memory game! It′s hard to find good gifts for 5 year olds, but this toy is one of the greatest and is a fun game for the whole family! Recommended for Children 5 and up
