John Crane toys make a colourful show
Published:  15 March, 2008

The name John Crane Ltd is now not only synonymous with high quality, traditional wooden toys, but TOLO® and TOLO® Baby ensure the company's popularity across the superior plastic and plush sectors too.

TOLO® Toys is now an integral part of the John Crane Ltd portfolio. With its bright primary colours and adorable First Friends range it's the ultimate purchase for all discerning buyers. 

The new Magnetic Clip-Ons make taking baby out and about in the stroller a breeze!  Each charming character is an impish depiction of a familiar animal and with the addition of some crazy colours and patterns little ones will be captivated all journey long.  Made from soft plush fabric they are a delight for little hands to hold and cuddle, and the weighted feet mean each clip-on sits smartly on the buggy.  What's more, there are hidden magnets in the clip-ons feet, so when a journey has ended this TOLO® friend can transfer to a cot or wherever baby goes!

There is also the lovely TOLO® Baby range, which this year encompasses a new Woodlands Collection. This Collection has all that is needed to welcome baby home and offers new colourways with charming new packaging on a forest theme.  Red, spotty toadstools and delightful bunnies provide the main imagery, whilst soft peaches, sky blues and sunny yellows all add warmth.

There's the charming Toadstool Musical Cot Toy that can be wound up to play a gentle lullaby so baby drifts to sleep.  Featuring a bunny with blue dress, the red toadstool will keep baby's attention inside the cot as the rabbit turns slowly round and round.

The range also includes every baby's favourite, the Woodlands Comforter.  This appealing blanky with its flower, toadstool and toy rabbit in a little pocket is sure to stay by baby's side for years to come!  For a more traditional cot toy, there's Basil and Bella Bunny, the ultimate adorable, cuddly couple!

Completing the set is the Woodlands Cot Loop with hanging toys, which sits on the cot side inviting little fingers to touch the soft fabric.

When you think of John Crane Ltd you think of PINTOY® and this collection now boasts a whole host of new items for 2008, including such adorable cuties as Lilibee and Birdy.  Fantastic bird-like creatures create two crazy push-alongs with parts that rattle and click, whilst captivating bright colours ensure they will become best friends with any tot trying to take their first steps.

There is a bumper year planned for Branching OutTM too, as Nature Lacing Beads joins over 30 other new additions to the range.  This fabulous educational toy will enable little fingers to become nimble as youngsters are captivated with its flower, leaf, insect and mini-beast inspired pieces.

All toys in the GoGo® Toys collection make learning fun for any toddler.  The range offers quality and variety with items including a fabulous magnetic Learn the Alphabet game, a stunning Fantasy Bead Frame and Match and Sort.  The fascinating Colour Matching game sees tiny tots matching everyday items to the colours they normally are, promoting much discussion and new vocabulary too!

Other new additions include items such as the Happy Birds game.  Similar in concept to the award winning Florist game, this game is perfect for encouraging colour matching and shape recognition.  The four sweet little birds in this colourful brain taxing puzzle sit lined up on their special perch, so youngsters can enjoy matching their bodies, tails, heads and wings.

In addition, the Route Builder encourages fine motor development plus matching skills when children move the brightly coloured, chunky shapes through an attractively drilled wooden board to recreate the patterns they can see on the work cards.  The Route Builder is a striking addition to the playroom with its stunning colours and intriguing board shape.

All of the ranges available from John Crane Ltd, including the classic wooden toy ranges PINTOY® and Branching OutTM, can be seen at the Harrogate Nursery Show on stand M13 or for more information call 01604 77 49 49 or email sales@john-crane.co.uk
