Dear Sir or Madam

In the new toy year 2016 we will offer you a whole variety of new and exciting pro-ducts, which we will introduce to you at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg exclusively for the first time.

With our “beleduc small kids” line, we afford the youngest children between one and three years of age a great time of playing fun with ten carefully matched

elementary products. Children learn about their external en-vironment and make first haptic experiences – on their way from baby to toddler, they discover and grasp the world.

Our “beleduc Selection” combines our game classics and makes them shine in fresh colours. Included in this line are “Candy”, which is played all over the world, and “Rondo Vario”, which celebrates its tenth birthday this year and has already been sold more than 160,000 times.

Our “Play Corner”, including a table, chairs and four games, presents a concept, which – thanks to its design – immedia-tely invites children to play and works almost without rules.

We are especially happy to welcome the little green dragon “Tabaluga” at beleduc. Three perfectly matched games and

one handpuppet teach children about Tabaluga’s values, such as helpfulness and togetherness, in a playful way. With every game set being sold, we support the Peter Maffay Foundation and their holiday homes for children within our first licensing project.

Besides our great novelties you may expect many well-tried beleduc products and attractive offers at our stand as well. You will find us in Hall 3A, Stand E15/G20 from 27 January until 01 February 2016.

The most important information about our products we have prepared for you in this brochure. We wish you much enjoy-ment and inspiration with browsing through.

Best regards

The team of beleduc Lernspielwaren GmbH

Social Competence - what does that mean?Children learn very early how one should act towards others. That is why social behaviour is an importantsubject - already in the kindergarten. The little dragon Tabaluga stands for the learning of social values -and children love him. The Tabaluga Game Package is based on the idea to bring these values, shared byTabaluga and beleduc, to the children. It is precisely matched to impart these social issues.

On the beleduc small kids lineProf. Dr. Hartmut Wedekind

Especially during the first years playing is almost the single activity a child does. Pedagogues have calculated that a child plays 15,000 hours until the age of 6. That means 7-8 hours a day. Therefore, it is even more important, that children play in an engaging, socially secure and aesthetic environment and find useful materials, in which they explore the world of objects, causes and phenomena. The company beleduc is able to provide a demanding and broad offer with the small kids line for children under three years of age.The products are manufactured with love and are very aesthetic and encourage children to experience the world and repeat, and by doing so, get to know the world.
