The countdown to Christmas is officially on and it’s time to start thinking about Christmas gift ideas. New educational toys from Hape, a world-leading educational toy brand, offer the ultimate play experience while developing early childhood skills and young minds.
A leader in designing and manufacturing high quality toys made from sustainable or organic materials, this eco-friendly company endeavours to develop a child’s learning spirit through play experiences, and prepare them for the better world ahead.
Hape’s philosophy, “Love Play Learn” is central to all their toys, designed for the intuitive process of play. “Love” is the mutual love between child and parent, “Play” is the experience of success or failure, and “Learn” is the natural outcome from love and play.
