With the endorsement and acclaim of dozens of influential worldwide award bodies under its belt, the Magic Touch Piano has become the most awarded Hape toy in its catalogue. The piano not only contains the basic elements of any Hape toy - high-quality, great play-value, educational elements etc - but also marks a big step in the blending of wooden toys and technology. In addition, the widespread recognition also shines a light on the grand success between Hape and Baby Einstein, spurring everyone on towards a brighter and even more successful future.
This year, to fulfill and enrich “My First Mini Band”– the concept that the inspired and innovative toy designer Adam Shillito has developed to help children explore their possibilities and talent in music - different animal voices and selected sounds have been added which benefit children's cognitive abilities. Moreover, our new “instruments” are perfectly suited for children aged under three years, empowering them to be young musical geniuses! Additionally, the newly introduced colourful lights are highly appealing to little ones, and offer a great stimulus for learning. As Adam attests, we endeavour to offer world-class play experiences for children through our products. Therefore, the sound of our toy instruments is very close to real thing, providing children with a realistic musical experience they will fall in love with instantly!
A great band should constitute many types of instruments and, of course, “My First Mini Band” is no exception, and a professional keyboard, magic touch guitar and even a mixed music play table are coming soon for all the little musicians out there! All of these novelties improve the functions and play experience of the toy, whilst incorporating unique magic touch technology and maintaining a competitive price. We believe and hope that the product will be a hit on the market!
