Paper FX originally launched in 2008 and it's now being relaunched by Flair to introduce a favorite craft toy to a new generation. The toy is being reintroduced with a focus on eco-friendly features, upcycling and sustainability, and it targets tweens with an interest in fashion. Kids can create their own accessories, gifts and decorations using materials from old magazines, wrapping paper, posters, junk mail and other sources.
Julia Cake, country manager at Flair GP, says: "When previously launched in 2008, Paper FX took the toy market by storm, and it was confirmed as a Dream Toy by the Toy Retailers Association in the same year. Now, with upcycling and greener issues being even more top of mind, we expect great things for the relaunch." This fresh new approach is being supported with social media content in collaboration with YouTube crafters.
