SELECTA
Company History
In 1968 Tilmann Förtsch and Günther Menzel founded Selecta, in order to provide educational,
high value toys for young children. Though specializing in toys for babies, Selecta also produces an original array of
family games, learning toys, and dollhouse accessories. The look of a Selecta toy is almost instantly recognizable; toys
are done in bold primary colors, with the grain of the wood often visible underneath. Basic, identifiable shapes
dominate the form of the toys, while faces are always sweet, simple and smiling.
Materials and Safety
Selecta designs and produces their high quality wooden toys in the Bavarian region of
Germany, where they also obtain the fine hardwoods used to make their toys. Paints are all non-toxic, and often
additionally coated in protective beeswax to make the toy saliva resistant and safer for teething babies. Renowned for
the dedication to safety, Selecta tests their toys in conjunction with the well-known standards lab TUV. All products
are made in order to adhere with both American and European standards of safety.
Awards
Selecta is the winner of a number of awards, including:
Children's Game of the Year
Dr. Toy Winner
Swiss Game Prize
Austrian Game Prize
Spiel Gut Winner
