Infants

• Käthe Kruse towel doll (photo coming soon): Looking for a baby shower gift or something for your new little one? At this stage, simple toys that a baby can learn to hold and shake or wave around is great. We love towel dolls by Käthe Kruse. Käthe Kruse is the oldest German doll company that still makes dolls in the traditional, handmade way. Each doll takes 16-36 hours to make and is manufactured in Europe using mostly European fabric and supplies. Infants, babies, and even toddlers love to cuddle with these dolls, which are both beautiful to look at and soft to hold.

Babies

• Wooden Rattles and Teething Toys (photo coming soon): At this age, your baby probably loves to shake, rattle and roll and is learning to transfer objects from one hand to the other, which make our German-made rattles and teething toys a perfect choice. Made from naturally-germ free wood, like Maple and Beech, and treated with only natural oils, beeswax or vegetable dyes, these toys are durable and safe for your growing and exploring baby!

1 year - 18 months

• Haba Fantasy Blocks (photo coming soon) are a great choice as your child learns to stack blocks and knock them over. These are no ordinary blocks—these charming shapes are painted with bright colors, patterns and motifs. The blocks fit together, like a puzzle, or can be stacked in any fun combination.
• Haba Tiny Town is a great stacking toy, also made of wood, with brightly colored triangles, squares and semi-circles for stacking and combining.
• Ringlelrei is a great first game to encourage stacking and color matching.
