Haba Blocks - why every toy box should have some!

No toy box is complete without some Haba blocks! From the moment you open the box (which is attractive in it's own right, but i'll leave that for now) you will fall in  love with these unusual building blocks - and that's just the parents! Take a good look mums and dads, because once you give them to your children you will never get the opportunity to play with them again. You might think that one building block is much the same as any other, but almost every Haba block is different. We love that about them - the variety of shapes and colours is fantastic and there really is no limit to the number of different buildings you can create. Each Haba block is made from the smoothest beech wood and although the colours are the most vibrant we have seen yet on wooden toys, they are achieved using only non toxic stains and lacquers. I don't want to start throwing them around - they are almost too beautiful to play with - but I am assured by parents that they stand up to repeated throwing, dropping and chewing!
