Plus-Plus launches floral-inspired toy

 

As families look for creative, hands-on indoor activities, Plus-Plus introduces the Botanica 240-piece mix (RRP £11.99) – a fresh and timely addition to its award-winning open-ended construction range.

 

Coinciding with peak gardening season, this nature inspired set is designed to offer the creative benefits of gardening play, minus the clean-up. Ideal for spring and summer displays and STEM-forward product ranges, Botanica is poised to be a standout performer in the educational and gifting categories.

 

A beautifully curated colour mix

The Botanica set includes 240 pieces, for ages 5+, in plant-inspired hues including sage, vanilla, mulberry, avocado, burnt sienna, and lemongrass – perfect for crafting flowers, leaves, and mini indoor gardens. Each tube also comes with an idea guide and is compact and travel-friendly, making it an ideal purchase for families on the go. More ideas are also available on the website and free app.

 

Why should you stock it?

With gardening season in full bloom during the spring and summer months, Plus-Plus Botanica is a timely and relevant addition to any retail range. It taps into the growing trend for nature-inspired activities without the mess. Parents seeking creative, indoor alternatives to traditional gardening play will love this fresh, floral take on construction toys.

 

Designed for open-ended play

The Botanica 240-piece tube is designed for truly open-ended play, encouraging children to explore both 2D mosaics and 3D builds with no need for instructions.

 

This freedom nurtures creativity and experimentation, making it ideal for kids who love to build, design, and express themselves through hands-on fun.

 

Conscious consumers will appreciate the strong sustainability story behind the brand. Made in Denmark using 100% wind energy, every piece of Plus-Plus is BPA- and phthalate-free, offering a safe and environmentally responsible choice for families looking to make mindful purchasing decisions.

 

Whether displayed on a shelf or at the counter, the compact tube format makes Plus-Plus Botanica an excellent impulse buy or giftable item. Retailers can easily create an eye-catching seasonal feature or integrate the product into themed promotions.
