HABA’s Game Dons 2008 iParenting Products Award
Skaneateles, NY – Children love collecting things. Just ask any parent who’s had the amusement of emptying a kid’s pants pockets before putting them in the wash. Children also love change. They can be equally mesmerized by witnessing a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis or watching a drop of food coloring slowly turn a glass of water blue.
It’s because of how well they’ve combined these two things into an incredibly fun children’s game that HABA has received a 2008 iParenting Media Awards Excellent Products Award.
The iParenting reviewers had a lot of wonderful things to say about HABA’s Little Teddy Game:
HABA – Little Teddy Game – The red jumper or the ringlet shirt, the checked trousers or the blue jeans: What on earth should little teddy wear today? The four game variations have children search for, collect and combine clothes. A game of matching and taking turns for 2-5 players. Ages 3 to 8. Award category: Toys & Games.
“Little Teddy showed our son that one game could be played multiple ways and we liked seeing his ‘mind’ in action when we ‘changed’ the game to play another with the same game pieces!”
“I love the quality construction of this game, from the actual pieces & cards to the storage box. The illustrations are beautifully detailed and so colorful, and I love that this game came with instructions for a number of variations of play.”
“I love how colorful the pieces are. The colors really draw in the kids attention. Also, I like how thick the 9 teddy bear pieces are. They are handled a lot and this will help them to hold up much better than if they weren’t as thick. The card stock that is used for the cards should hold up to lots of handling, too.”
“My child especially enjoyed playing the version of the game where you race to see who can find the correct match first. I think the game is a great way to build skills in eye-hand coordination!”
“Yes, the kids had a lot of fun collecting and combining the clothes. They really enjoyed being able to keep the cards when they found the right combination of clothes. They loved having something to show for their efforts.”
