Encourage Toddler Cognitive, Social & Emotional Development with First Game Play

Some of the most exciting moments in parenthood are all of those "firsts"  -- baby's first breath, first bath, first smile, first giggle, first time rolling over, first time sleeping through the night, first solid foods, first word, first few steps...and the list could go on! The first few years of a child's life are believed to be the most important in terms of brain development. Children are constantly growing, changing and developing to reach new motor, cognitive, social and emotional milestones.

HABA My Very First GamesWhile we know unconditional love and support are every parent's number one priority when it comes to caring for their child, HABA believes that learning and playing should come next! That is why we've developed several lines of toys and games tailored specifically for toddlers and preschoolers.

HABA's My Very First Games were designed to stimulate learning and development through play early on.  All of these "first" games can be played competitively or cooperatively --where there is not just one winner.  Most importantly, every game has simple rules to be understood, remembered and followed.  Each game comes with instructions and also doubles as a toy set for open play, to encourage imagination and creativity.  The solid wood pieces are chunky and easy for little fingers to grasp, and the various game boards are vibrant and cheery with bright colors and bright scenes. My Very First Games focus specifically on sorting, matching, counting, stacking, listening, building, puzzles and color and shape recognition to stimulate and further develop all the senses.

HABA's My Very First Games are recommended for ages two and up and most can be played either alone or with up to 4 others. These first games provide a variety of fun choices of game play. Both boys and girls will are sure to enjoy them as they make their way into to the exciting world of board games!
