The toddler years are prime time for children to not only enjoy toys but to gain so much from them. A well-chosen toy encourages imagination, gross and fine motor skills, reasoning and early learning of colors, shapes and words. Watch a young child play with a really wonderful toy and you see them light up, lost in the fun they are having. At HABA, where children and their toys are at the forefront of everything we do, we know searching for just the right toy can be difficult. So we’ve chosen some of our favorites to make the choosing easy. 
Dolls Little Scamp Mette ($26.59) is so cute, she’ll be a well-loved friend far beyond the toddler years. With red hair, freckles and a cute, polka dot dress and red Mary Janes, she’s a real love. Because dolls are not just for girls, HABA welcomes the adorable Graham Doll ($36.09) into the family. Sporting cool overalls, a striped shirt and bandana, he even wears his baseball cap backward. He’s a charmer. Games It’s all in good fun with the Zippy Scooters Domino Game ($30.39). With colorful, easy-to-handle pieces, children ages 1-2 create their own path for a car to follow. 
Encourage a love of music with HABA’s My Very First Games Ding-Dong-Forest ($34.19). Little mouse Mia visits each of her musical friends to decide which musical instrument she wants to play.
