Univers :  Games and Toys

... raise awareness of environmental issues while having fun. Among them, Négocio where each player takes on the role of a roaster...to learn the basics of fair trade and ecology.

Nostalgia is the other important value. The games are inspired by the past. For the boys, wheeled cars are real collector's cars that dads are jealous of. They also love the cute puzzle "My little retro cars" made up of 2Cv and Mini. Girls travel with their dolls from the 1900s with dinette, miniature furniture and doll toys from the past. The old games of skill are reissued. For learning the bilboquet skill, diabolo and bowling games are a good alternative to computer joysticks and mice! Is it to get children's noses out of the console? Outdoor and sports games saw a positive upturn in 2009. Toboggans, garden houses and motorised machines contributed to the growth of the sector. There is nothing like installing trampolines, gantries or turnstiles in the garden to give children peace of mind indoors and let off steam. And to ensure that the toddlers' development is total, you will sacrifice your ears well by offering them musical instruments. Rock stars in short pants love the sound of drums, guitars and small pianos.

Once the children are in bed, you will appreciate the quietness of the board games. The sector is one of the most dynamic in the games and toys market with a growth of more than 6.4% over the first 8 months of 2008.  Increasingly creative, board games are enjoying phenomenal success, particularly among "adulescents" and are managing to compete with video games. Often transgenerational, they allow the family to get together in a convivial way. The card game "Les 1000 Bornes" has been passed down through the generations. It celebrates its 55th anniversary in 2009. With its ten millionth copy produced, it still appeals to 7 to 77 year olds!
