Haba Polizei-Alarm! Game and just in time for the Holidays, $25 Maukilo Gift Card ★ GIVEAWAY ★

Haba makes my favorite kids' games.  They're imaginative, original, non-toxic, and visually fabulous.  They're also German, and for a Europhile like me, that adds to their charm and interest.  POLIZEI-ALARM! is a cops and robbers action game for two to four players.  One side are safe cracker robbers and the other side are the police.  The robbers try to crack the safe by throwing the right dice combinations while the police try to find the bad guys' hideout by steering around the board in a magnetically controlled police car.  The police have to use dexterity to find the robbers before they crack the safe under time constraints.

One thing I love about this game is the polizei siren.  Normally this would annoy me, but it's a European siren and it just brings me fond memories of Germany.  I love sharing this little morsel of Europe with my son who likes the novelty of it being a German Kids' game and the action of the police saving the day.

This would make a great holiday gift and the generous folks at Maukilo are offering a $25 gift card for you to get this or something of your choice just in time for the holidays.  Maukilo offers many cool European, nostalgic, and educational toys and games to choose from.

Product Review: Varialand

Having spent a lot of time in Germany, I was delighted to find this creative, open-ended and adorable wooden non-puzzle. Each square has a picture to be placed with other squares forming various different scenes. There are many possibilities causing you to think and concentrate as much as you would with a puzzle, but in a more creative and right brained fashion. This is not a cheap toy at $25, but it's one to go in the keepsake trunk for your kids when they're older. And if you're a Euro-phile like me, you'll love it. Older kids will probably get a kick out of the German words all over the box. Ages 3+ Made by Selecta Spiel/Germany
