Moulin Roty in the garden

We are well known for our soft toys and nursery accessories - but did you know we make a gardening and wildlife range too? As it's National Gardening Week , we thought it was the perfect time to highlight some of our outdoor toys.

Have a look through the photos below, and there's a link at the bottom to our gardening area of the French website, where you can flick through the whole range. 

Our garden and wildlife range is not as widely available in the UK as our nursery range, so please drop us a message through our Facebook page if you'd like some help tracking down a stockist.

What is Le Goûter...? The French art of the after school snack...

What is  'Le Goûter'?

Simply put, it's afternoon tea in France- but it's a little bit more specific that that.

To begin with, Le Goûter is a tradition for children. It's roots are in the idea of an 'after school snack' - usually taken around 4 or 4.30 pm, it's a little something to tide children over until supper (which they wouldn't normally eat until much later - 8pm maybe, with mum and dad).

Typically it's something sweet - a pastry, tart, baguette with chocolate spread (or chocolate cubes - have you ever broken up a bar of chocolate and eaten it in a bit of baguette - its delicious!) or perhaps some kind of bread and jam.

So, to celebrate and highlight the art of Le Goûter..  we're going to start a little baking series and try out some recipes with the help of a few of the Moulin Roty animals.

We'll try some classics (look out for madeleines!) and some healthy options (sugar free, oaty little treats) and we'll share our recipes on the blog ...

Bon Appetit!

A vibrant new Facebook page - with daily content, news and photos

2016 is seeing some exciting changes to the Moulin Roty UK social media channels. After a couple of years of quiet contemplation with a little bit of posting here and there, this year we're making some changes and getting BUSY.

The main focus for activity will be our new look look Facebook page - so please click here to head over and 'like' our page if you'd like to see a bit of Moulin Roty pop up in your timeline...

There will be lots of stories and photos to make you smile - and if you have any Moulin Roty photos you'd like to share, we would love to hear from you.

Welcome to our blog!

It is very late at night, after midnight, and all the Moulin Roty toys are fast asleep as we put the finishing touches to our new blog.

Tomorrow will see our first proper blog post, introducing some of the new characters and ranges for 2013, and we will add links to our Facebook and Twitter pages. But for now we are just writing a quick and quiet hello (we don't want to wake anyone up) and checking out how a post looks on the blog.

So, goodnight, and more tomorrow....
