At this year’s Spring Fair, Bachmann Europe launched its new distribution line: PepPlay. This new range of children’s arts and crafts products is suitable for ages 3-10 and features colourful designs to appeal to both children and parents alike. Stock has now arrived for delivery.

PepPlay is a premium eco conscious brand, with many of the products designed to be reusable and recyclable. The products are non-toxic and conform to all safety standards. The range is made up of around 20 products initially and includes Reusable Doodle Placemats, Sticker Puzzles, How-to-Draw books, Origami Art, Dough Art, Velvet Colouring Cards, Painting by Numbers, 3D Model Kit and No Sew Pillow Kits.

The reusable Doodle Mats are a particular highlight and come in a range of designs. The placemats are designed to make mealtimes fun at home or on the go. They are printed with fade proof black ink on food grade, non-toxic Polymer sheets and are BPA free. Once kids have coloured in the pictures, the mats can be wiped clean and are ready to be reused again.

The Colour by Paint and Number book features full-page exclusive drawings of a wide variety of dinosaurs including tyrannosaurus rex, stegosaurus, triceratops and brontosaurus. All of these creatures roam through this beautifully designed colouring book, enjoying their prehistoric habitats with trees, mountains, volcanoes, rivers and more. A unique paint palette is added to each of the 16 perforated single-sided pages. With a wet paintbrush (included), little artists can enjoy painting with no messy paint spills.

The Make your Own Unicorn Pillow can be made entirely by a child. With minimal parental guidance, it is an easy three-step activity. Kids simply add stuffing, knot the pillow ends together and decorate.

All of the products are portable and make ideal travel activities, keeping kids occupied in their seats for hours.

The set includes everything needed to create 20 unique and colourful bracelets using Heishi beads. The Maped Creativ range also includes a wide selection of unique modelling kits, travel boards for being creative on the go and drawing machines such as the best-selling Maped Creativ Lumi Board which allows children to learn to draw with the help of light projection. The Lumi Board features 250 different fun and exciting pictures to draw, covering five levels of difficulty to support and aid development, allowing chidren to improve little by little.

Maped’s My First range gives parents the perfect opportunity to immerse themselves and their toddler in messy play whilst developing their child’s fine motor skills and love of art. Aimed at ages one to three, the range features products that are specifically designed with the youngest artists in mind and are both easy and safe to use, ideal for fun quality time with toddlers.

The range includes brightly coloured Baby Crayons made of soft wax with a rounded handle which are ideal for babies from age one. Also available are Jumbo Felt Tips, Colouring Pencils and Wax Crayons for young children learning to grip. For babies and toddlers that are more hands on, My First Finger Paints are available in four bright colours that are dermatologically tested and made up of a smooth texture that doesn’t drip.

For more experienced budding Picassos, the new Maped Color’Peps Infinity coloured pencils offer a new twist on the traditional colouring pencil. The innovative design means that they last 10 times longer than standard colouring pencils, and as there is no wood or resin casing, they won’t ever need sharpening. Other products in the Color’Peps range include Maped’s Glitter, Magic and Window Felt Pens, all offering children a new experience when colouring and being creative.
