Material, quality & safety

Toys are only as good as their materials and their workmanship. This principle applies to all HABA toys and also of course to the Kullerbü play world! Our products made from wood have carried the PEFC seal since 2010. It verifies that we use wood from sustainable forestry in German forests.

In concrete terms this means: the beech wood, which the robust Kullerbü balls, columns, straight tracks, curves, and ramps are made from, comes from forests that are within a radius of 150 km/93 mi of the company’s headquarters in Bad Rodach in Upper Franconia. Major effects such as the looping ramp, big dipper ramp, or the various gateways are manufactured from plywood that is imported and also originates exclusively from sustainably managed forests. We are thereby doing our part to maintain the ecological balance of the forests.

Whenever color comes into play – whether on the balls, domino blocks, or other Kullerbü wooden elements – we use solvent-free water-based paints and stains. “Colorful” and “safe” go naturally hand-in-hand for us.

In addition to carefully selected materials and high-quality craftsmanship, the issue of safety is of highest priority at HABA. Kullerbü products, like all HABA wooden toys, pass through our in-house quality assurance as well as external test procedures. All Kullerbü balls have an extra large diameter of 4.6 cm/1.8 inches, so that they cannot be swallowed by children, especially by those under 3 years of age.
