Toy Fair 2024 took London’s Olympia by storm last month, and Delamode International Logistics was right in the heart of the excitement! From the whimsical displays to the innovative gadgets, it was a playground of inspiration and fun.
So, what exactly is Toy Fair, and why was it a must-attend event for us?
What is Toy Fair?
Toy Fair is the ultimate showcase of the latest and most fabulous toys, games, and entertainment products from around the globe. Imagine a kaleidoscope of colours, sounds, and creativity under one roof. It’s where industry leaders, trendsetters, and innovators converge to unveil their newest creations and set the stage for what’s to come in the world of play.
From giant Squishmallows to close encounters with Dragon’s Den sensation Mood Bears, the Delamode team were on hand to support our clients who were exhibiting – and hoping to set the must-have trends for the next twelve months. We even learned a new word: kidulting! The products may ultimately be destined for children, but it’s the grown-ups who make the decisions as to what the kids will be craving to own.
