Carddies news
Since they were launched, Carddies have had a huge number of positive reviews and feedback...from parents, children, press, and bloggers...all finding that Carddies are fun, creative and educational...perfect for children using their imagination...as you can see here!: Top Toy Review and continuing until the present day: MadeForMums Best Arts and Crafts Toys and Kits:
"Simply put, it’s old-fashioned colouring-in fun, presented very charmingly – with a lovely, diverse mix of characters. And the backdrop and little stands mean that colouring-in segues quite naturally into imaginative play, as your child acts out little scenarios for all the different characters. Lois, mum of our child tester Mollie, 6, said, "Mollie was instantly captivated. She couldn't wait to start colouring in the characters and had started role-playing with them before she'd even finished colouring the whole set. The quality of the card is really great and the size of the characters is spot on for small hands. The characters are really cute and appealing – and Mollie remained focussed on playing for a really long time. What a lovely kit!" And a very fair price, to boot."
Children, parents, grandparents and carers think our Carddies colouring sets are ideal in countless situations...Carddies have been singled out as an excellent toy for travel, for holidays, when out and about, for visits to granny and grandpa, in restaurants, for quiet or fun time at home, as an art and craft activity, as a teaching and learning aid in the classroom (for use by teachers and pupils), at weddings (for fidgety children), and of course as gifts, birthday presents, Christmas presents, stocking fillers, party favours...presents from a newborn baby to a sibling...the list is endless!
Carddies were on Eurostar in summer and winter 2016! Very cute Carddies for Eurostar sets were handed out to keep children busy on their Eurostar train journey!
