Beleduc

Beleduc is a European educational toy range with more than 60 years of history.  Their products are sold in over 50 countries and are popular with children in Europe, Asia, American and Australia.

 

Learning by playing – with body, mind and soul.

Children are curious by nature.  They react to new experiences and investigate their own surroundings.  Beleduc products aim to address that curiosity to help them discover themselves and their world.  The innovative and child oriented design of their products encourage a delight for discovery and offers children experiences that are essential for learning during the first years.

 

At Beleduc, children play for children

Every good Beleduc idea (most are inspired by children!) is thoroughly tested by little players before production starts.  The important aspects like function, game content, learning, understanding and product safety are intensely evaluated.  Only when these aspects are found acceptable by everyone involved does a new product go to market.  Independent testing organizations randomly inspect Beleduc products and award certificated after examination against all international product safety standards, ensuring you of a safe toy.

 

Wooden puzzles – the best activity for the youngest

Puzzles help realize that, sometimes, the whole can consist of many small parts.  Puzzles encourage a child’s development by making the process of learning a playful experience and help children learn about the first basics of association and combination.

Quadrilla Wooden Marble Runs are Back

September 19, 2012

Quadrilla wooden marble runs are now back with Hape Toys.  Its been awhile since we’ve been able to get these items as they were being distributed by Manhattan Toys for a couple of years but their distribution agreement ended earlier this year and now they are back with Hape Toys for distribution.

ABOUT QUADRILLA:

 

Quadrilla represents the next generation of marble runs.  Beautiful wood tracks and a rainbow of colored blocks, each with a different function, are the starting point for endless contraptions for marbles to drop to a new level, go right or left, swirl in a funnel, or pour out of a teeter totter.

Quadrilla Marble Run’s versatile design allows a child to determine the path of play and the options are endless.  Simple 2 or 3 level switches or complex multi-level, multi-direction layouts are possible depending on the builder’s understanding of the function of each piece and their developmental stage.  It is a logical, sturdy, stable product where the process of building is as much fun as the process of playing.  Choose from an assortment of award-winning sets and add-on accessories.
