About Hape
Hape is the world's leading producer of wooden toys, founded in Germany in 1986 by Peter Handstein. The company name combines the first letters of the founder's first and last names, and has grown from a small educational games seller to a global brand synonymous with quality wooden toys. Their motto "Love Play Learn" embodies their philosophy that play is in the DNA of every child. As the largest sustainable toy manufacturer in the world, Hape is committed to environmentally responsible production. Their toys are crafted from FSC-certified wood and bamboo, finished with non-toxic, water-based paints. Every product undergoes rigorous safety testing to meet or exceed international standards, making them safe for children of all ages. While designed in Germany, manufacturing takes place in China under strict quality controls. The Hape product range includes wooden musical instruments, transportation toys, building blocks, peg puzzles, and baby toys including rattles and teethers. Their German-engineered marble runs are particularly popular for teaching coding logic to young children. Hape toys are trusted by kindergartens and Montessori-style classrooms worldwide, where teachers use them to help children develop essential cognitive and motor skills.
