19 BRAND SPANKING NEW THIS ISN’T… Leading licensing agency Bulldog Licensing, which manages licensing for That’s Not My…, the bestselling touchy-feely book series for babies and toddlers, on behalf of publisher Usborne, has announced an agreement with University Games, a major name in board games, gifts and puzzles. University Games has produced seven puzzles and games inspired by the charm, distinctive illustrations and gentle focus on learning that have made That’s Not My… a part of the childhood of millions of little ones. The colourful University Games’ That’s Not My… series is specially designed for the very young and features bright pictures, textured patches and friendly characters – just like the books! The seven offerings include two 12-piece jumbo floor puzzles, two colourful two-to-eight-piece puzzles and two self-correcting two-piece matching puzzles, all designed to be easy for little ones of 18 months plus to manipulate and play with. There is also a memory game for toddlers and preschoolers aged two and over. All these puzzles and games are themed around household animals, zoo friends, vehicles, dinosaurs and more, based on the many favourite themes explored in the books. They also boast strong educational benefits. Like the books, they introduce colour and object recognition and encourage sensory exploration through exploring textures. They also help to develop fine motor skills, focus and problem solving. There is a strong sustainability element too; all these items are made from recycled paper and soy-based ink. www.bulldog-licensing.com BEACH HOUSE ART Beach House Art is sailing into the festive season to bring some coastal-inspired calm to Christmas gifting.
