The Kinder Surprise Animal Adventures African-inspired range has been announced by the brand as a lineup of new additions that build on the success of the South American-themed varieties from last year. The lineup includes 21 toy varieties that are themed around African wildlife and work with the accompanying app that will help to bring them to life in a new way for kids to interact with. Children will also be able to learn in the process thanks to a series of fun facts and stats about the animal they reveal.
Customer Development Director for Ferrero UK & Ireland Levi Boorer spoke on the Kinder Surprise Animal Adventures African-inspired range saying, "Shoppers responded very positively to the Animal Adventures range last year, so we are confident that the updated line up of toys, stickers and cards, alongside the eye-catching packaging and point-of-sale materials available to retailers, will appeal to families once again.”
