Cartamundi lands John Lewis partnership for Shuffle Junior new range, Into the Wild

Cartamundi’s popular Shuffle Junior portfolio is expanding, with the launch of a new range of games under the Into the Wild banner, each designed to aid cognitive, fine motor, and recognition development in youngsters.

The new range spans five different games that are each aimed at helping kids develop their problem solving and animal recognition skills. The Into the Wild collection has now secured a major nationwide distribution partnership through John Lewis & Partners.

The range includes twists on the classic games; bingo, dominoes, flashcards, a jigsaw and also a giant alphabet and number floor puzzle all aimed at supporting early years learning for children aged three and upwards.

The Into The Wild Alphabet and Floor Puzzle will hone wild animal knowledge as well as their alphanumeric skills by creating a giant 10-foot long puzzle with favourites from the animal kingdom.

Meanwhile, Into The Wild Bingo is a race to see who can correctly match up all the wild animals on the board and be the first to shout BINGO. Little ones will soon become clued up on their exotic animals with this fun-filled bingo game.
