For 83 years, the HABA baby doll company has been thriving. It was created by Eugen Habermaaß and Anton Engel in 1938 with a mission to create high-quality toys for children that will last longer than they do. HABA is the world’s leading manufacturer of educational toys. They have created dolls, bath time products, and beach items that will keep kids entertained for hours in their own home or on a vacation!
They are most widely known for their wooden toys which are designed and manufactured in Germany.
In the 19th century, wood was a popular material for making toys in Europe. However, as time went on it became increasingly difficult to find trees because they were being cut down at such an alarming rate due to deforestation elsewhere around the world which led many manufacturers to look elsewhere when creating their products like Germany’s HABA company who now produces some really cool wooden toys that still hold up well against modern-day rivals.
With its strong reputation and quality, the HABA soft toy line has continued to grow over 40 years.
