In December 2014 20 Mumsnet local editors reviewed the Carddies and loved them...Some comments:

• Mumsnet Blackburn
  “...perfect for children for weddings or other occasions where you need a toy that isn’t bulky, messy but provides endless play opportunities."
  

• Mumsnet Chelmsford
  “T has played with this toy constantly all weekend and demanded that we took it with us when we went to see his Grandmas this morning. He then introduced it as his ‘favourite toy’!”

• Mumsnet Croydon
  “… they came up with some great names such as Blossom, Sylvie and… Diego Costa (after the Chelsea footballer)”.

• Mumsnet Dorset
  “…I was pleasantly surprised to find the set held the attention of both of them for almost two hours!”

• Mumsnet Ealing 
  “There was total silence for about an hour as my daughter was completely engrossed in the colouring and playing with the characters – they are great for imaginative play!”

• Mumsnet Greenwich/Bexley
  “So these were enough to keep eight children busy. We thought they would be back in half an hour with dared “I am bored” claims, but no, we did not hear from them all day long!”

• Mumsnet Kent
  “My son couldn’t wait to get into to the box and find out what was inside. Although the box is small, we were impressed with what we discovered – these have been so well thought out.”

• Mumsnet Lancashire
  “They are fabulous and it's so quiet with the concentration involved!”

• Mumsnet Leeds/Wakefield
  “…we travelled on the train last week for three hours and the Carddies set kept my two year old so entertained”
  

• Mumsnet Lincolnshire
  “Who wouldn’t want their own little people, in their own little box to carry around with them wherever they go?”
  

• Mumsnet Merton
  “…it was love at first sight. No sooner had she scrutinised the mini characters than she's already established that "they'd make good presents for friends" and asked if she could have the Fairies and School 1 sets for Christmas!”

• Mumsnet Monmouthshire and Newport / TorfaenGwent
  “I wasn’t sure what to expect from Carddies as it seemed like such a simple idea to me, and I did think that some simple cardboard cut-outs to colour in might not hold the children’s attention for long. But I was wrong, very wrong! Yes the idea is very simple but sometimes the more simple the idea the better.”
  

• Mumsnet Reading
  “So far in the space of 3 days, our little box has been with us to a restaurant, to visit family and opened several times at home to add a little more colouring and a little more play. They are easy to transport too…and the box seems exceptionally robust…” 
  

• Mumsnet Renfrewshire 
  “She loved it.  In fact, it was played with all weekend.  She even took it along with her to her grandparents"

•  Mumsnet Richmond
  “She particularly enjoyed giving her new card friends names and telling us what each of the characters was doing at the farm that day. The pig was named after her father which gave us all a giggle.”

• Mumsnet Rutland /Leicestershire
  “I admit, I was rather sceptical about whether this little box of simple cardboard drawings would keep my 3 1/2 year old entertained and I am really pleased that I was proved wrong.”

• Mumsnet South Yorkshire/Sheffield 
  “The girls loved both colouring, attaching the stands and then using their imagination to act out Various scenes at their ballet dancing school. “
