It’s almost like there are some kind of British and sport themed events ahead this year the way toys of these themes keep popping up… Still, we have a soft spot for retro simple toy Carddies anyway, so we forgive them.
If you’re not familiar with the award winning toy, it’s easy peasy: characters are printed onto card, littl’uns colour ‘em in, stand them up and presto – play time begins. As most parents will no doubt recognise, from Christmas mornings spend putting together horrible fiddly electronic crazy gizmo type toys before realising that their offspring prefers the box it came in, simplicity can often win out, and that is the secret of the success with this range.
With the new British and Sports themed sets released just in time for well, you know, new additions can play with old favourites and your child expands their Carddies collection, which already includes Cavemen, School and Knights sets among others. And as an added bonus they’re only £8.99 making them a pocket friendly treat for those extra bank holiday days off when it’s no doubt chucking it down with rain. Cynical, us? Never. You can get them here and also here.
