When it comes to the safety of our children, we always tend to be hyper-informed about all the topics that can generate anxiety to us: school, illness, outside activities, social relationships. However, we often don’t realize that most of our play time, especially during lock down periods like the last few months, is spent playing indoors. So it begs the question, do we pay attention to the quality of our children’s toys? As far as we are concerned, yes, and we want to share with you the many merits of a German brand that we appreciate very much: Hubelino.
Hubelino for safety and quality
Hubelino is a brand produced with the utmost precision in Germany, preferring the highest quality materials such as ABS plastic, phthalate-free and non-toxic. Each Hubelino toy is created to be a modular and scalable system. The seemingly endless multitude of design possibilities remains Hubelino’s main strength, not to mention the fact that even the simplest toy, such as a marbles track is based on a building block-like system and is compatible with additional expansion packs to create larger, more impressive systems.
Hubelino’s strength
The reason we fell in love with the Hubelino brand is STEM learning. STEM learning addresses science, technology, engineering and math in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. It plants the seed for learning through firsthand inquiry and exploration; integrating the four subjects into a cohesive learning paradigm based on translatable applications to the real world. Take, for example, the construction of the marble track. Recommended for children ages 3 and up, it is an extendable block system created to be challenging even for interpolation and encourages spatial thinking, mathematical planning, creativity, and understanding of physics principles in the most fun way possible. While building these marble tracks, children are able to work on their critical thinking and problem solving skills, develop engineering skills as well as make quality observations about speed, time, distance and direction.
Hubelino and Social Integration
The Hubelino Marbles Run is an extraordinarily fun and satisfying activity that can be approached independently or undertaken together as a group to promote a sense of collaborative play from an early age, teaching invaluable skills for social integration, communication, patience and cohesion among team members.
As we can see on their website, Hubelino, since 2008, inspired the thinkers and doers of tomorrow. The interactive simplicity of the products, based on known modular plug-in system, allows to give life to new worlds that meet the creativity of the producers but that leave plenty of room for that of children, the real protagonists of every design intention. Hubelino’s mission is clear and effective: “Imagination grows with Hubelino”.
The pedagogical value of these toys is inestimable: the attention of the little player is focused on a balanced relationship between fun and learning. That’s why new product development always focuses on learning content, such as a basic physical law, while the clever design makes it a toy with added pedagogical value.
Every product from Hubelino is the result of intensive collaboration with child development experts, pedagogues and parents to ensure that the products withstand the challenges of everyday use and are in line with the latest teaching methods.
Hubelino marble tracks promote spatial intelligence and an elementary understanding of physical principles. Each level of difficulty, in the basic versions or in the expansions, has a level of difficulty appropriate to the age of the player so that it is always stimulating and educational in every way. Playing with Hubelino and building a track for marbles is not only fun but also teaches children some rules such as following instructions, stimulating their working memory and improving their analytical thinking skills.
It is therefore a good game, which entertains and teaches, without boring and which, not least, grows with the player along with the difficulty level and the sense of challenge that accompanies construction and play.
