The latest addition to the range is the Card Game for Rebel Girls. The original stories tell true tales of heroic women throughout history, from Elizabeth I to Serena Williams. Published on the back of a phenomenally successful crowdfunding project on Kickstarter, the books are the brainchild of entrepreneurs Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo who, having researched the lack of female role models in children’s literature, decided to write books that told a different story and have sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. Card Game for Rebel Girls is the brand-new licensed game from Gibsons. The aim of the of the game is to collect and complete sets of Character Cards to score as many Rebel Reward points as possible. Each Rebel Reward Card requires a different team of Rebel Girls to complete the task, so players must use their Character Card’s strengths and the handy Wild Cards to build a squad of strong girls! There are five categories of Rebel Girls in the game: Champions, Warriors, Leaders, Pioneers, and Creators. Characters such as Harriet Tubman, the Bronte sisters, Eva Peron, Hypatia, Boudicca, Katia Krafft, Wilma Rudolph and Junk Tabei are all included. The game allows players to learn a little more about each Rebel Girl and what their achievements have been throughout history. Each card has a small blurb to describe the characters and what made them special and unique. This empowering card game is perfect for children aged 6 and up and includes personalised certificates for any rebel who is inspired to achieve greatness in their own lives. Whilst learning about incredible women throughout history, the Card Game for Rebel Girls also encourages players to be bold, work hard and remember to be proud of everything they have achieved. Earlier this year Gibsons released two Jigsaw Puzzles for Rebel Girls. Available in 100 and 500 pieces, each puzzle has a slightly different design and features vibrant and imaginative illustrations by talented female artists from around the globe.

Just think of the Instagram opportunities! “Our mini family in a box is made totally in house in our studio in Cheltenham. From the photos you provide, we digitally enhance your images and print them directly on to a gorgeous cherry wood veneer that is a sturdy 6mm thick. We then cut each individual out on our lovely laser machines. We add a tab by the feet so each figure can stand in its own circular base. To make the set even more special we also personalise the front of the box with your family name.” www.betsybenn.com  EARTH SQUARED Launching this January, the new collection from Earth Squared features all new fabrics to look forward to this Spring.
