Hape Wooden Railway Mighty Mountain Mine Set for Kids

Hape Holding AG, a renowned high-end toy designer, manufacturer, and distributor, was established in Germany in 1986 by Peter Handstein. The company now has offices located in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, North America, the Netherlands, Mainland China, and Hong Kong, with over 30 subsidiaries and investment affiliates positioned around the globe as of January 2021.

The Mountain Mine Railway, one of Hape's products, offers a rich mine-themed experience for children. This playset features various elements, including trees, stones, two mine carts, cranes, long conveyor belts, dreamy waterfall tunnels, signal bells, wooden suspension bridges, spiral tracks of winding mountains, and obstacle bridges, among other accessories. These elements help to enrich the sense of situational experience, allowing children to tell stories about what might have happened in the mine and improving their language skills.

The playset offers numerous play tips to engage children. Starting from the top of the mountain, children can use the crane to load the train with supplies and follow the spiral track lower and lower into the mine. On the way down, they can pass through the waterfall tunnel, where they can set the magic liquid inside in motion by removing the tunnel wall and turning it upside down. Children must navigate their way past the different hazards and features, crossing the obstacle bridge and the rope bridge, and ringing the warning bell before visiting the repair station. Finally, they can use the conveyor belt to transfer ore from the bottom of the mine to the third level, load it into their train, and take it to the surface.

Hape products are made almost exclusively from wood and natural products sourced from sustainably harvested forests, and all products sold in North America meet or exceed all applicable safety standards. The surface of the Mountain Mine Railway is made of safe, water-based paint that does not need to be disinfected and can be dissolved in water. Gentle wiping with a dry or wet cloth is all that is required for maintenance.

The Mountain Mine Railway is designed to encourage imagination and creativity, providing many quality hours of fun with family and friends while also promoting problem-solving, trust, friendship, and language development when playing with a friend. The realistic boom crane, which turns 360 degrees and makes a reassuring clicking noise as it moves, adds to the overall play experience.
