My First Games by HABA – growing playfully from the very beginning

Even the very little ones are big game fans. They sort, stack, laugh – and want to try everything themselves. With My First Games from HABA you lovingly accompany your child on the way into the world of board games.

What is special about My First Games?

HABA's My First Games are characterized by simple rules for quick gaming fun. Children from 2 years are introduced step by step to playing by rules – without pressure and with all the more joy. At first the little ones discover the high-quality game materials in free play. They name colors, animals or shapes and let their imagination run free. In the next step, gentle first rules are added. Who's turn is it? Who may roll the die? What happens next? In this way, children learn playfully to take turns, to listen and to tolerate short waiting times. My First Games from HABA are thus the perfect introduction to board games-playing. The large, robust and easy-to-grasp pieces – many of them made of wood 'Made in Germany' – are ideal for small children's hands. Different variants and increasing difficulty levels ensure that My First Games remain exciting for a long time. And in every instruction manual parents will find valuable suggestions on how they can individually support their child.

What characterizes My First Games – My First Orchard?

One of the classics of the My First Games series from HABA is, of course, My First Orchard. In this enchanting toddler version of the popular HABA classic, children harvest fruit together before the cheeky raven Theo reaches the orchard. The die shows which fruit may be picked – or whether the raven moves closer. In doing so, colors and symbols are recognized and matched, and an initial understanding of rules is practiced almost incidentally. The large wooden fruits also invite free play.
