New toys

When we lived in Germany we were spoiled! You just can't find the cute and quality toys in the US that you find over there. Unless you find someone who sells them. I recently received 3 toys from Haba. We've spent some time playing with them, and now I have to tell you about them.

This cute ball is called the Stacking ball Colori. The four pieces come off of a center core. I love how the pieces have color coordinating fabric to help put it back together correctly. It teaches so much more than just dexterity. Sam loves it almost as much as I do!

This isn't the book we have, but I couldn't find the right one on their site. We have had books in the past that have little extras with them, but this book makes it so easy to keep the piece with the book. There is a little slot in the front to fit it in and then a door slides shut on it securely. The book we have teaches things like beside, behind, over, under. I was surprised to see what Trinity did and did not know. But it helped her so much. We got to practice and practice the words while she placed the little magnetic monkey where the pirate boy tells him to go look for the treasure. On the roof, over the rock, beside the house, under the tree.

Everyone loves these colorful blocks! We have all been playing with them. We made castles galore for little princesses.

These blocks are good quality, and the edges are not sharp, nor are they really heavy. (meaning you aren't going to get hurt too badly when you step on them or get one thrown at you!)

There are a lot of stateside stores that sell Haba products, just do a google search and you will find tons of options.
