Tellatale Puppets - Top Ten for Xmas

Fiesta Crafts’ Tellatale Puppets have been voted “Top 10 Toys for Christmas” by independent retailers in ToyShop UK’s Independent Toy Awards.

Fiesta Crafts’ Tellatale Puppet range includes over 100 hand and finger puppets available individually or in sets. Tellatale Puppets include much loved fairy tale characters, animals and children puppets and are designed in-house at Fiesta Crafts’ London HQ. Fiesta Crafts pays huge attention to detail to use bright, soft fabrics and embroidered details that make them so adorable to both children and adults and ensure loads of imaginative play.

Tim Hawkins of Toy Shop UK said: "We are delighted to be able to publish a top ten list that isn't skewed towards major brands purely on the basis of demand or profit margins.

"Our list represents what small, independent retailers genuinely think are the toys that parents should be buying for their children this year. It is only because of our access to the opinions of such a large proportion of independent retailers that we are able to compile the most comprehensive list of its kind anywhere."

Rob Trup, Marketing Manager at Fiesta Crafts said "We are delighted that our Tellatale Hand Puppets have won the 2010 Toy Shop UK Awards, Creative Play category. We already see how much children love our Tellatale Hand Puppets and it is fabulous to have been recognised in this way by toy shops themselves.  Fiesta Crafts' core market is through the independent toy and gift shops so it is great to know that we are producing the right products for them."

This Top Ten Award, comes hot on the heels of Silvers for the Tellatale Children Hand Puppets at the Practical Pre School Awards and Golds for the Tellatale Finger Puppets and Finger Puppet Theatre at the Good Toy Guide Awards which are judged by children.

Rob adds: “It is extremely rewarding to receive this commendation for our range of puppets. Parents, teachers, children and now retailers have chosen Tellatale hand and finger puppets as the ones to buy for Christmas”.
