Tabaluga Cooperation Social Competence - what does that mean? Children learn very early how one should act towards others. That is why social behaviour is an important subject - 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 by Tabaluga and beleduc, to the children. It is precisely matched to impart these social issues.

On the beleduc small kids line Prof. 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.
