HAMA is a carefully structured learning programme. It has been
designed to accompany the child from the earliest, fumbling attempts
to control fingers, right through to adulthood, when "bead-painting"
becomes a selfexpressive hobby, rather than a learning tool.
Moreover, it has been designed in such a way that children never
suspect they are doing anything but playing. Young children need to
train their eyes and their hands. They must learn to recognize and
match colours, to pick up and place small objects with precision, to
distinguish shapes from their surrounding fields! HAMA is made in
Denmark.- kids have great fun!

without the use of electronics.
This line is not intended to replace Schoenhut's vintage models that

3 IN 1 Animal/Blanket/Pillow! We at Zoobies wanted to come up with
something fun and different that had never been introduced out on the
market. After months of development and converting basic conceptuals
to new innovative ideas, Zoobie Pets were finally born! From the
Kalahari Desert to the marshy wetlands of the Okhavango Delta sprung
forth our love for the African animal and from our desire to hear
Childrens' shouts of joyous laughter gave birth to our new patent
pending designs. With a Roar of excitement, we introduce you to the
Zoobie Pets! From such characters as Hada the Hippo and Cheche the
Cheetah. We hope that you will also say that you've now heard the
Call of the Wild!
