HABA ~ Moover Doll Pram & Salad Bowl in Summer Charm Review & Moover Toy of Choice Giveaway!

I could sit and watch my kids play all day if I had the time. It's so neat seeing them use their imaginations, be creative and have fun! I am always looking for high quality, open-ended products that encourage them to play in this way...which is why I love HABA!

Found nationwide in over 1,000 U.S. specialty retail stores, catalogs and websites, HABA products have been recognized with German and American awards including Parents' Choice, National Parenting Center, Creative Child, Dr. Toy and The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio. They are a name parents know and trust...one that provides both fun and education for children of all ages.

As many of you probably know from past posts I've written, we are a huge fan of HABA toys. The quality and open-ended play they provide is top notch, which is why I was excited to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review a couple of their new products.

New in 2012, we were sent the Moover Doll Pram and Salad Bowl in Summer Charm.

Kaden is all about pretend play in the kitchen, which is why the Salad Bowl in Summer Charm caught his eye right away! Not only was it play food (one of his FAVORITES!), but he sees me eating salad almost every day for lunch, so this was something he had seen and could pretend he was doing as well now!

As we pulled the contents out of the box, I was amazed with the quality of both the food and the salad bowl. The salad bowl is shatterproof and made of melamine. It's incredibly durable and something that could easily be used with real food as well - it's that realistic!

Kaden was tickled to have such a real looking bowl (not the typical plastic you usually see with play dishes). He was also very excited to see the yummy veggies. I have come across different felt play food before, and these are definitely steps above the rest. The 5 felt veggies included in this set are once again, of superior quality! They are not something that will tear or fray...they were definitely made to last!

Kaelyn and Kaden both have enjoyed throwing together a delicious salad with green olive slices, salad leaves, mushroom slices and white onion rings and tomato and serving them to their stuffed animals, dolls, friends and family members.  It has been a joy to watch!

We were also sent the Moover Doll Pram to review. This arrived packaged nicely in a box. When I learned more about the Moover, I thought of it as being the typical wooden toy that would have many pieces to put together. Thankfully, I couldn't have been more wrong!

In fact, the Moover Doll Pram is ready to go right out of the box...no assembly required! I was thrilled! As a busy mom, I don't have a lot of time to spend putting things together, so I appreciated the fact that it was already done for me!

Kaelyn loves playing with her dolls and stuffed animals and has always wanted a stroller of some type to stroll them around the house in. She was beyond excited to see this Doll Pram and got her baby in it right away!

I absolutely love the quality! Made of high-quality birch veneer, it's sturdy and something that could easily be passed down from generation to generation! The classic, yet modern design is timeless and it's so adorable with the heart shaped window. I just love the detail that went into making it! 

The size is smaller than I had expected which was a nice surprise as well. It's big enough for both Kaelyn and Kaden to push around, yet small enough that it doesn't take a lot of room either. It's perfect! Both kids have enjoyed pushing their dolls around in it...doing the same thing they've seen me do with their baby brother in his stroller. They tuck their babies into the pram so they can sleep and enjoy the stroll. I love watching as they imitate our behavior, which is so essential for a young child to do.

We have been thrilled with the Moover Doll Pram. It's already provided hours of fun, and I know will be used for years to come. New for 2012 are four other sturdy Moover baby and toddler toys.  Just check them out:
