Maped Creativ Set to Unveil Innovation and Excellence at The Toy Fair

Maped Helix, a world leader in the design and manufacture of school and stationery supplies is thrilled to be exhibiting at Toy Fair for the very first time. Using the show to introduce the highly anticipated Maped Creativ range, a collection of fun and innovative creative toys and activities that children will love. 

Launching at the show, and brand new for 2024, the Maped Creativ Animaker range allows young minds to create their very own animations, just like the professionals! Each set includes all the drawing and colouring tools children from 6 to 12 years could ever need to decorate and complete the storyboards provided, and they can even create their own! Using the genius free Animaker app, young creators can then transform them into real cartoons to share with friends and family. Both Animaker Flash and Animaker Flip come in three different themes to inspire creativity whatever the budding designer is into!

The Maped Creativ range also includes a wide selection of modelling kits allowing children to create a wonderful  variety of magical and wild creations, but a real highlight in the range is the award winning* Maped Creativ Dino and Unicorn Factories. From building the dinosaur or unicorn figurine using the numbered wooden 3D puzzle provided, to covering the wooden skeleton with the unique Maped light dough; a light weight, flexible dough that hardens in four hours – children 6+ will love bringing their very own prehistoric or mythical creature to life.

Perfect to immerse toddlers and parents alike in messy play, the Maped Creativ My First range has been specifically designed with the youngest artists in mind. Aimed at those aged one to three, it features products, that are both easy and safe to use, so parents can enjoy some super fun quality time with their toddlers, while also helping to develop their fine motor skills.

Nurturing a love of art from the early days, the range includes My First Collages, comprising a set of super safe scissors alongside an array of coloured paper and cute animal templates to introduce young children to cutting and sticking for the first time. Also, My First Stamps, which provides two ergonomically designed patterned stampers, which are ideal for young children learning how to grip. For babies and toddlers that are more hands on, the My First Finger Paints Set includes three bright colours that are dermatologically tested and made up of a smooth texture that doesn’t drip, ensuring an almost mess free, but super fun, play time!

For young artists learning to draw The Lumi Board helps little Picassos perfect their drawing skills by tracing templates on a light projector. Coming with a pack of brightly coloured Maped felt pens and over 250 images, this set spans 5 levels of difficulty (from easy to challenging) to support ongoing development. Simply place the template on the projector, place the paper over the top and get drawing!
