Updates and fresh ideas on the KiDS shelf

Expansion with four new 3D wooden puzzle themes and colorful painting sponges

Marabu KiDS is starting the year with fresh ideas and expanding its range with two creative new products that encourage children to enjoy designing. With modern motifs, colorful materials, and child-friendly concepts, Marabu is setting new trends while optimizing its existing range.

The popular Marabu KiDS 3D wooden puzzles are getting an update:

To keep the range up to date and attractive, four designs are being replaced. The new models – stegosaurus, crocodile, boat, and off-road vehicle – feature themes that children will love and encourage creative play. The high-quality wooden elements are easy to put together and paint in bright colors—for example, with Marabu KiDS LITTLE ARTIST children's artist paint. Painting, building, and playing with the 3D figures promotes imagination, fine motor skills, and spatial thinking. With the change of motifs, the KiDS wooden puzzle series remains varied, contemporary, and appealing.

The new Marabu KiDS painting sponge set of 3 provides additional creative variety.

The colorful sponges are versatile, artistic tools for painting, wiping, and dabbing large areas and have been specially designed, tested, and approved for children. Different porosities enable exciting textures and easy painting results—ideal for first experiments with paint. The painting sponges naturally meet the requirements of EN 71 and offer tested safety for little artists. With their colorful appearance and child-friendly handling, they add a fresh touch to the KiDS range and support the continuous optimization of the product range.

With the new 3D wooden puzzles and the colorful painting sponge set, Marabu KiDS is strengthening its position as a creative companion for children and offering retailers modern, attractive products that promote the joy of creativity and add new appeal to store shelves.

Available from summer 2026.
