Packed, shipped, and then reused! Crafting with shipping cartons

You just ordered a HABA product; so now you are patiently anticipating its arrival. Now HABA has given you a reason to not only look forward to receiving the toy but also the carton it comes in! Why? Let us share our thoughts ...

Sustainable, Creative, HABA

At HABA, creative and environmentally friendly use of resources is something that’s close to our heart. Did you know, for example, that when it comes to our wooden toys it’s important to us that the wood used comes from sustainable forestry? In addition, we continuously optimize our production conditions, use environmentally friendly processes, and improve the technologies used.

This focus on sustainability doesn’t end when a product leaves our factory. After all, even though shipping cartons are a necessity that doesn’t mean that they should just be thrown away when they reach you! Your carton can do more! The often large and always robust sides are perfect for crafting with children.

Do It Yourself: Crafting with Cartons
