HABA Baby's First Basic Block Set - 12 Colorful Wooden Cubes (Made in Germany) We use woods from sustainable forestry in German forests All paints are water-based and solvent-free. For decades, we have been working together with German supply partners to only use first-class stains, varnishes and print colors Materials for toys that we dont produce in Bad Rodach are checked and monitored in Germany in their unprocessed form (e.g. paints in liquid form). Submersion tests for testing the resistance of all individual parts with subsequent tensile test. Impact and fall tests Tests for flammability, saliva and sweat-proofness. We also use special stencils to check whether small parts can be swallowed by children under three years, and we check the string lengths of pull-along animals etc.
