Golden Bear 01952 608 308 www.goldenbeartoys.com Stand E69 Golden Bear is the UK distributor for Smart Ball, the kick-up counting football with lights and sounds. One of the best-selling football gifts in the UK for 2019, the Smart Ball has proved to be one of this year’s most popular Christmas choices for football fans of all ages. The new Speed Measuring Smart Ball launches in July, and includes innovative technology to measure the speed of each kick. Players can switch on the in-built sensor and kick the ball as hard as they can – their speed will register on the ball in kilometres per hour. No other football has speed measuring tech embedded. The Speed Measuring Smart Ball encourages children of all ages to be active outdoors; parents and friends can join in the fun too as players challenge each other to see who the fastest kicker is. Launching in July, Sassimals are the new feature plush from Golden Bear. With bright funky colours, quirky styling and a neck that never quits, these fierce and funny new characters are brimming with attitude. Kids can activate them by pressing the musical note symbol on the bottom of one foot to trigger their sassy signature dance moves. Surprising and delighting little ones, Flossi Flamingo or Ali Alpaca groove to one of three different upbeat songs. Sassimals will also talk back to their owners as their necks whirl wildly. Pressing the microphone symbol on the other foot causes each Sassimals to repeat kids’ words, laughs and giggles in their own amusing voices. The Duggee Adventure Bus is ready to take the Squirrels on adventures, just like in the hit CBeebies show. Duggee’s ears flap up and down as he’s pulled along, bringing the popular pre-school character to life. His hat also has a surprise in store; when kids press it down, a trap door slide will transport the Squirrel figurine into the bus, ready for the next adventure. Little ones can also have lots of role-play fun setting up the picnic, which comes complete with a basket, food, blanket and radio. The seats can be placed inside or on top of the bus, or alongside the picnic set. There’s also a seesaw and swing that clips onto the slide of the RV. Two Squirrel figurines and plenty of accessories are included with this fun pull-along vehicle. The pull-along Bing’s Lights and Sounds Train with Mini Playsets brings the world of Bing to life, from the television show to the playroom. Featuring lights and sounds, the train comes with two removable carriages that transform into portable mini playsets. Bing’s house playset opens to reveal Bing’s living room and accessories, while fans can also recreate scenes from the show using the second playset, which features Bing’s playhouse and garden. Bing and Flop character figurines complete the set. The opening credits of the hit children’s show In the Night Garden show Igglepiggle as he rides on the musical boat to the garden in the night. Now, fans of the show can have fun with their own soft toy, Igglepiggle with Wind Up Musical Boat. This toy is made of super-soft mallow fabric and filling with an extra squidgy feel, making it a superb bedtime comforter. He comes complete with a wind-up musical boat also made from super-soft fabrics. Featuring hand-stitched styling for an authentic feel, this product is perfectly sized for little hands. The boat can be wound up so it plays gentle music based on the theme tune from the show. At night-time, the boat can be placed in the nursery to soothe little ones to sleep whilst they cuddle their Igglepiggle toy. Suitable from birth, Golden Bear’s Igglepiggle with Wind Up Musical Boat doesn’t require batteries. The In the Night Garden Musical Activity Ninky Nonk Bubble Train is over 80cm long and is ideally suited to both indoor and outdoor play, thanks to its waterproof construction and chunky off-road design. There are over 15 activities for kids to enjoy. The front compartment contains a motorised bubble fountain that shoots bubbles into the air as it’s pulled along. The middle compartment is a spinning shape sorter which doubles as a storage case with handle, the perfect place to keep the Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka character figurines included with the playset. There’s also a rain shaker with waterfall bead sounds and a place to stack the colourful blocks. All these lines benefit from TV advertising campaigns.
