The children and friends of the School Gate editor also liked Carddies:

"These toys are simple but effective. They are also great for travel (all those half-term car and train journeys) as they come in a simple and small box."

 We also loved hearing what her little boy did with the princesses in the Knights set:

"They lend themselves beautifully to story-telling, and my son thoroughly enjoyed creating a tale of knights and dragons with his (I later found the two princesses still in the box and he told me they had been captured!)."
