After years of research, extensive testing and a worldwide design workshop with UNESCO, HaPe International is honoured to present the BAMBOO COLLECTION, the world's first collection of bamboo toys.The challenge with bamboo, a giant natural grass that grows as tall as a tree, is its sensitivity to sawing, cutting, filing, dyeing, temperatures and bending. HaPe realized the extensive amount of research and testing required but persevered due to the sustainability of bamboo and because of its economical and ecological values to the world. Once cut, bamboo grows back completely in a mere three years.

Bamboo also combines lightness with stability and is flexible but very strong.

BAMBOO COLLECTION launches with 11 games for 2-4 players age four years and up and 3 creative play products. The 10-15 minute games are perfect for parent and child or brother and sister. Three creative sets are perfect for develop artistic skills.

Bamboo toys have names derived from Latin for use around the world.

The bamboo grain has a wonderful tactile feel and is enhanced with a bright water-based paint.Through our participation in origin country community projects and our purchase of sustainable bamboo, we contribute to the people and places that grows bamboo.
