HaPe is proud to offer the Bamboo Collection, the world's first collection of bamboo toys. The challenge with bamboo (the giant grass that grows as tall as a tree), is its sensitivity to sawing, cutting, filing, dyeing, temperature, and bending. Hape realized the extensive amount of research and testing required but persevered because bamboo is an extremely economical and earth-friendly raw material. Once cut, bamboo grows back completely in a mere three years. It also combines lightness with stability and is flexible but very strong. The bamboo grain has a wonderful tactile feel and is enhanced with a bright, safe, water-based paint.

Travel, tip, and load – that’s the plan of action for this unique dump truck with its flame graphics! This rugged, modern design combined with durable bamboo body will be able to tote and load for hours of construction play.
