Hush-a-bye baby ... The soft “Baby Annabell Heartbeat for babies” from Zapf Creation helps even the youngest infants drift off to sleep. Simply press the heart on the cuddly doll’s tummy and listen to a rhythmic heartbeat and soft breathing. The volume of the 20-minute recording can be adjusted. © Zapf

The pastel-coloured cuddly toys Penguin Speedy (28 cm), Elephant Taffy (75 cm) and Polar Bear Fluffi (47 cm) are suitable for infants from birth.

Buggy with a twist – The “Micro Trike XL” from Micro Mobility Systems allows slightly older children to be pushed around on a trike. The new model has been given a more ergonomically styled line, a reinforced frame and two larger wheels. The vehicle can be folded away, making it extremely compact. © Micro Mobility
Make your own jewellery – Craze is extending its popular “Splash Beadys” series to include the “Jewelry” play set. Creative minds from four years can make their own rings, chains and other pieces of jewellery from craft beads. As always, the beads are fused together not through ironing, but through spraying with water. © Craze
Snuggly fashion for dolls – Be it a bodysuit, bib, pyjamas, bath towel or blanket – the products from the “Sloth Snuggles” doll’s clothes line from Heless are made from particularly soft material, featuring quality embroidery and an extra-fluffy appliqué of the cute Sloth Snuggles. Little parents will be cuddling their babies all the time! © Heless
What’s up doc? – The educational memory game “At the Doctor’s” from Haba’s “My Very First Games” series prepares children for a visit to the doctor’s through play. There’s never a dull moment at Dr. Liebherz’s surgery: Linus has come for his immunisation, Greta has had an accident and Emma has a cough. The players need to have a good memory as they have to treat the patients themselves. © Haba
Hopping mad! – Frogs take centre stage in the wooden game “Saltino”. First, they are sorted into the holes of the lily pond by shape and colour, then they jump around the playroom when the players press the colour tabs. The new product from Selecta is designed for infants over 12 months. © Selecta
For little musicians – Be it a caterpillar, apple or tree, the attractively shaped rattles, shakers and bells from Gewa Music encourage even the youngest of children to make music. The products come in percussion sets with fitting names such as “Summer Friends”, “Garden Fruit” and “Nature Lovers” and have a pleasant and agreeable sound. © Gewa Music
Mind the gap! – Little railway enthusiasts from three months will laugh and cheer when HCM Kinzel brings Oball’s “Chug-O-Choo” to town. The colourful toy train chimes with every chug. The intriguing textures on the carriages are easy for little hands to grasp, providing a variety of tactile experiences. The carriages can be removed. © HCM Kinzel
Off to nursery! – In Nuremberg, Epoch is introducing its “Nursery” series which can be seamlessly integrated into the existing “Sylvanian Families” world. In terms of function and size, it is tailored to “Sylvanian Families Baby”. The highlight of the series is the “Baby Castle Nursery”, featuring two storeys and plenty of accessories. © Epoch
