From September 11st to 14th, at the Cologne International Convention and Exhibition Center, Hape attended the International Baby to Teenage Fair Cologne "Kind+Jugend" with Kaethe Kruse.

Kind+Jugend dates back to 1960, and has now become the largest exhibition of children’s products in the world. The four day exhibition attracted more than 1000 exhibitors from over 50 countries. More than 20,000 visitors from more than 100 countries attended the event. It outnumbered the previous years in both the scale of the exhibition and the number of visitors.

Kind+Jugend is known as "global kaleidoscope of children’s products", and Hape stood out with gorgeous and novel new toys. The Crafts, Color Croquet, Puppet Playhouse, Dynamo Dominoes and other new items are novel in concept, unique in design. This, combined with fine workmanship, a hall mark of Hape, caught the eyes of visitors and attracted them to play for themselves. In particular, the Spin Animal Pounder won a nomination for the innovation prize children’s products category in the fair.

Hape attracted visitor attention with a novel design and won hearts with commitment to quality. Hape just like the most beautiful patterns in the kaleidoscope, was blooming gorgeous in Cologne.
