Geomagworld 07831 886 997 | www.geomagworld.com Geomagworld, in partnership with Viacom/Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP), has created a range of Magicube Paw Patrol Character and Vehicle Sets. Magicube allows even the youngest children to develop their first manual and dexterity skills, enabling solid 3D building through simple and creative play activities. Each Magicube Paw Patrol character set contains three cubes, with each side featuring a part of one of the heroic pups. Two SKUs are available; the first featuring Chase, Skye and Rocky, and the second containing Marshall, Zuma and Rubble. Each pack shows the pups in different positions and poses, so fans can enjoy mixing and matching them all. Also available are Paw Patrol Vehicle 5-piece Magicube sets. The three available SKUs feature the vehicles of Skye, Chase and Marshall, and allow kids to build 3D models of each character’s vehicle or badge.
Jumbo Games 01707 289 289 | www.jumbo.eu As well as its successful own brand lines, Jumbo Games creates premium licensed puzzles and games across a broad range of children’s brands. This year, the company will be supporting Disney movie releases with a range of new products.

The range comprises a 4 Shaped Puzzle Set, a 4-in-1 Puzzle Pack, a 50-piece Movie Poster Puzzle and 4-in-1 Round Puzzles, as well as the Puzzle & Colour Box Set for creative puzzlers. Frozen fans will enjoy Jumbo’s new board game; set to feature key themes and characters from the movie, the game allows children to work together whilst interacting with various elements of the game. Frozen II products will hit retail in October. Older audiences are a key target for Jumbo, which has developed a new 1,000-piece Dumbo puzzle using classic artwork from the original movie. Later in the year, Jumbo will also be supporting the live-action releases of The Lion King and Aladdin with 1,000-piece puzzles for each. These new additions bolsters Jumbo’s existing offering, which includes a Mickey 90th Anniversary 1,000-piece puzzle, and Snow White and Bambi 1,000-piece Movie Poster Puzzles. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Disney classic The Little Mermaid, Jumbo is launching two eye-catching new lines; the 1,000-piece puzzle and 50-piece Movie Collection Puzzle are sure to appeal to all fans of the movie, young and old. CBeebies’ pre-school bedtime show, Moon and Me, first aired in February and has already proved a hit with children and parents. The colourful characters, unique storylines and imaginative scenes created by Andrew Davenport provide the perfect backdrop for Jumbo Games’ new range of puzzles, which launches in September.
