This little mouse is so cute! Little ones push him along by his long handle and he rocks back and forth with tinkling bell and twitching whiskers. He is also very sturdy. Ours is still going strong after about four years of use (not always for the intended purpose) and abuse. I just love the whiskers!!

The object of this classic game is to get four in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. This tiny version comes in a little 4″ x 5.5″ tin that is ideal for travel or a stocking stuffer.
I generally prefer travel toys with very few small pieces, so all these little balls could be a car or airplane disaster. I only recommend this as a travel toy for children old enough to manage the balls without spills (also not good around babies). But for older kids, or even adults, this is a great game!

This little guy is smaller than he seems in the picture, but too big to be a choking hazard. I would estimate he is about 3″ or 4″ tall.
My fourteen month old loves him though. It may be something to do with the contrast between the textures: smooth wood and soft loopy jacket. She goes to sleep with Mr. Sheep in one hand and “Doudou” in the other.
Like all Haba toys, he is built to withstand lots of loving. Plus, on a practical side, his little jacket easily removes for laundering if necessary.

I adore all the Haba teethers! They are lovely, smooth cheerful chunks of bright, primary colored wood. Made in Germany.
This one, the Trix
, is a series of triangles strung on a sturdy elastic so that little hands can manipulate them into different shapes. These teethers feel so clean and solid, like they’ll last forever!
