"Power Paul" Mask, Cape & Belt; Doorway Theatre, Floral Wreath Tent Role Play Toys crafted By German Artisans On Display At Booth 431
Skaneateles, NY - Everyone recognizes the benefits of educational toys but how about applauding those that enhance social and emotional skills? Putting on a puppet show or prancing around the house in a cape and mask allow children to role play. When it comes to pretend play accessories, HABA gets to be first in line at role call. Visitors to their American International Toy Fair Booth 431 will be enchanted by a Floral Wreath Play Tent, detailed Doorway Theatre and masked crusader Power Paul costume.
Pretend play builds a child's understanding of the people and things around them. While it might look simple, there’s actually quite a lot happening when children use their imaginations. With a prop like HABA's Princess Rosalina Play Tent, kids can create their own scenario, uses different voices to become someone else or act out a situation that may have concerned them earlier in the day. Problem solving, skill building, language development are all taking root as kids are having fun.
Parents can look to HABA for quality role playing pieces that are not only beautiful but encourage a child's storytelling and social play. It also develops empathy for others from rescuing a teddy bear from danger (wearing a superhero costume) to hosting naptime with Fluffy or Fido (inside play tent).
Look for these pretend toys and other games and activities online here at www.HABAusa.com or on store shelves by March 2013.

Little imaginations are stimulated by the pastel colors, roomy design and ample height of the attractive indoor tent.

When play time is done, parents can fold the whole tent flat and store away for another day.

HABA introduces a host of new hand puppets to play along, each sold separately.
