My Very First Games - Hungry as a Bear
This little bear has a huge appetite. Luckily, there’s already a plate ready, piled high with all kinds of treats. But what snacks can you feed the little bear? The die decides.
With HABA’s detailed guide, parents get plenty of tips and ideas for how to explore the game with their children and use the game pieces for a variety of fun activities. Free play lets your child (and maybe a little friend) unleash their imagination and playfulness, all while learning to manage the game pieces and feed the bear. Â
About "My Very First Games": Young children are true explorers of the world. They watch, wonder, play, learn, test, and experiment everywhere they go. The My Very First Games series is designed especially for these early years and developed by HABA in collaboration with educators and game designers. In free play, children get to explore the game pieces at their own pace and figure out how they work. Since young children are new to board games, the games have very simple rules. Depending on the game, the level of difficulty increases over time, or new variations are introduced. This means the My Very First Games series always offers new, age-appropriate challenges that support early development and stay interesting for years — and above all, the games are genuinely fun, so the motivation to learn and build new skills comes naturally.
The set includes:
- 1 bear stand
- 12 "blobs" of food
- 1 plate
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 die
- 1 game guide
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

With a clear set of rules, board games, dice games, and card games are clearly defined activities without major negotiation with others. For many children, it can be a nice relief to focus on a game with clear rules as a change from wild, free play with their mates at kindergarten or school.
In addition, playing a game gives your child an opportunity to practise other important skills, such as losing. We suggest not letting your child win every single time you play. Teach your child to cope with defeat in a safe environment together with you. This builds resilience in your child, which will benefit them later in life when they have to handle situations on their own and you cannot shield them from disappointment and defeat.
This activity develops essential skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Helps your child to practise their social skills in a safe environment at home.
- Strengthen your child's language comprehension through play.
