Bonjour Zig & Zag - brand new for February 2016

Midwinter. And although some of the Moulin Roty creatures are still fast asleep in hibernation (think bears, hedgehogs...) for the rest of us it's a very exciting time of year because January sees the launch of our annual catalogue - and a brand new range of toys!

Meet Zig & Zag - a new nursery collection themed around the adventures of two little dogs, Zadig and Zao, along with their friends Zacky the sheep and Zephyr the horse.

The fabrics used are very tactile and very Moulin Roty, we’ve used predominantly a palette of vibrant greens, oranges & blues & blended these with a whole host of different fabrics & textures to create a beautiful & innovative nursery collection.

The Zig & Zag collection is launching initially with just over 30 products, to include soft toys, rattles, comforters, slippers, back packs & various musical & activity toys.

Look out for the collection hitting the shops in the UK late February / early March.  Let us know when you spot it - we'd love to know what you think.

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.

Welcoming Mademoiselle and Ribambelle...

Say bonjour to 'MADEMOISELLE & RIBAMBELLE' - a charming new nursery collection themed around ballet & dance.

This soft, elegant collection blends velvet, soft boa fur, sequinned cotton plain with flower & dotty patterns, linen, tuile & sequinned jersey fabric. Colours are pastel pink, grey and a rich steely blue.

There's a variety of lovely characters including rabbits, an otter, an owl & a mouse amongst many soft toys, rattles, comforters, slippers, musicals and activity toys.

Bonjour Les Cousins du Moulin

Say 'Bonjour' to a gorgeous new addition to the Moulin Roty family - Les Cousins du Moulin.

The Cousins are a bright and quirky range of farm animals - duck, hen, donkey, cow, sheep - and not forgetting the activity cabbage.

There are rattles, comforters, squeakers, soft toys and activity toys available - each one with a personality of its own.

The colour pallet is vibrant - purples and pinks meet lime green and and a beautiful rich 'mallard' blue.

Much of the range is now available to buy at Cottontails Baby, and here are a few images to give you a flavour of the range...

A Grand Family Easter Egg Trail

The Grand Family animals had a marvelous Easter Egg hunt over the bank holiday weekend. Obviously the whole thing was organised by Sylvain - it's very much a rabbit's job to arrange such things - and lots of the other animals had a great time hunting out the hidden eggs....

Queuing to take part 

Pretty eggs were hidden all over the garden

Nini mouse thinks she spots one...

 Yes! Here it is

Jeanne goose finds another

Apolline mole unearths another

Amedee duck spots one in the pond

And Nini mouse climbs a tree to final the final egg!

Say hello to Biscotte & Pompom

Honestly, who would have thought a big brown bear and a tiny mouse could be such good friends? But Biscotte and Pompom are inseparable, and along with their companions - hedgehog, owl and donkey - they have just arrived in England ready for adventures and fun.

The range includes soft toys, comforters, rattles, musicals, slippers and a delightful selection of nursery accessories.

Colours are muted and gentle - turquoise, beige, orange - and fabrics are incredibly soft.

Available now from selected Moulin Roty retailers.

 

 

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....

Fast asleep....
