Our educators thoughts on the Hess-Spielzeug range

We stock Hess-Spielzeug because they represent the gold standard in infant safety and sensory design. Manufactured in Germany from native beech and maple, these toys are designed to be mouthed. The wood is naturally antibacterial and the water-based paints are saliva-resistant, ensuring the toy remains safe and beautiful despite heavy oral exploration.

Their pram chains and rattles are engineered to provide just the right amount of stimulation. The sounds are gentle clacks and rattles, not electronic noises, which encourages an infant to listen and track the source of the sound. The movement of the dangling figures promotes visual tracking and reaching, helping to develop early hand-eye coordination.

We also appreciate the mechanical reliability of their clips and fasteners. A pram chain needs to stay attached to be safe and useful. Hess-Spielzeug uses robust, high-quality clips that prevent the toy from being thrown to the ground, keeping it clean and within the child's reach.
