What's New for Kit for Kids in 2023

As we look forward to a new year at Kit for Kids we are excited to update you all on what 2023 will look like for us. We have been busy this last year looking at our product offering and how we can enhance our range for you, our buyers, and also our end users. We are also looking forward to getting out and about and speaking to both existing and new customers at shows in the coming months.

New Products launched January 2023

This year we have launched some very exciting new products, from new ranges to refreshed designs. We are particularly focused on adjusting our offering to incorporate more neutral tones, reflecting current trends in classroom design and teaching practices.

We have refreshed a number of our soft furniture lines, including our Donuts™, Sagbags and Story Cushions, by introducing grey pvc to one side. This gives users the option of a more neutral setting to help with focus and decrease distraction. We have applied this to our popular Ergo-Vari seating as well, changing the blue to a grey.

Our new Toadstool and Leaf seats offer a versatile and interchangeable backless seating range with various size options. They coordinate well with our bestselling Natural World™ Carpets that were launched in 2022 and add to our increasing range of more neutral classroom furniture. All of these can be mixed and matched to suit any setting and the colours have been chosen to help create an outdoor environment inside.

We have updated our popular Geometric Shape carpet for 2023 with a grey muted background. This 3x3m carpet can be used as a decorative placement carpet featuring 30 placements spots, and is ideal for Early Years and Primary settings. It features all of the key shapes covered in the Early Years curriculum, and pairs well with our Geometric shaped mats.

Our main new carpet offering this year is the Essentials™ Range which comes in a light and durable Tuf-Loop™ pile, providing excellent value and quality for something different in your environment. The whole range comes with indoor/outdoor backing for great versatility as they can be used all year round in any setting. At a time when we know budgets are being stretched even further these carpets offer great value for money and we are certain they will quickly become bestsellers.

Another new carpet line launching this year is our Be Kind™ range. These carpets will encourage children to build constructive and respectful relationships. We have a new Be Kind carpet which is the same size as our welcome carpets and perfect for school entrances and classrooms. This carpet features 16 values and behaviours which are great for group discussion and promoting positive interactions with others both in and outside the classroom. The other carpet is a Kindness carpet which is 2m round with thick and soft Tuf-pile™ which is a great addition to our decorative carpet options.

Exhibitions 2023

We are looking forward to being back at Spielwarenmesse Toy Fair in Nuremberg this year to showcase our products that have recently launched and show some new product development for 2024.

It is a great opportunity to catch up with our customers, both new and old. We are keen to find out what’s been happening for you over the last 3 years and hope to make plans for building our partnerships in the years ahead.

If you are planning to attend and would like to book a meeting, please contact one of our Business Development Managers, either Chris Holliday c.holliday@kitforkids.com or Laura Formby l.formby@kitforkids.com.

We will also be at London Toy Fair with our parent company One for Fun Ltd the week before, so if you are visiting do pop along and say hello to the team.

Our new catalogues will shortly be available online to download from our website. Our Kit for Kids brochure contains all our best selling products and our brand new ones that have just launched.

We also have a One for Fun Education brochure which highlights some key One for Fun products that we feel are suitable for educational settings, as well as a Newness brochure to highlight our latest product development.

Did you know that we have a showroom in Glasgow, which as a buyer you are welcome to visit with our Business Development Managers to look through a selection of our products as well as One for Fun products?
