  • Have your say!

    📌 UK makers are being buried under regulations designed for multinational mass production.

    And if nothing changes, many small British toy brands simply won’t survive.

    ✅ The DPP consultation is STILL open in the UK.

    ✅ Have your say !

    There is still time to fix this.

    Right now, the same administrative burden is being imposed on:

    👉 factories producing millions of units overseas,

    👉 and British artisans making a few hundred products a year in local workshops.

    ❌ That makes absolutely no sense.

    A local maker producing 500 handcrafted toys in the UK is not the same risk profile as anonymous mass production imported from the other side of the world.

    Yet both are increasingly treated the same.

    The consequence is brutal:

    ❌ rising compliance costs

    ❌ endless paperwork

    ❌ innovation slowed down

    ❌ local manufacturing discouraged before it even has the chance to grow

    And meanwhile, the biggest players absorb the cost without difficulty.

    If we genuinely want to rebuild British manufacturing, support local craftsmanship, and encourage new brands to emerge, then regulation must become proportionate.

    Our position is simple:

    For UK manufacturers producing fewer than 1500 units per year:

    ✔ simplified self-declaration of conformity

    ✔ documented technical files kept available for inspection

    ✔ traceability through production year marking

    ✔ fast local enforcement when needed

    ❌ Not lighter safety.

    ✅ Smarter regulation.

    Because today, small British creators are spending more time feeding bureaucracy than building products.

    We should be helping local makers grow into future exporters — not crushing them before they reach scale.

    The UK has an opportunity here:

    Build a framework that protects children WITHOUT destroying local industry.

    That would be real leadership.

  • 🚀 Toys: UK vs EU – Navigating the Future of Regulation

    The toy industry is at a crossroads, with two distinct paths emerging on either side of the Channel.

    The European Union has already set its course with the Digital Product Passport (DPP), mandated by the new Toy Regulation (2023/1642). By 2030, every toy on the market will need a digital passport to track compliance, materials, and supply chains—adding complexity and cost for manufacturers.

    Meanwhile, the UK is consulting on a more flexible approach, focusing on strengthened enforcement powers (recalls, penalties) and adaptability for online marketplaces and global supply chains. But one thing is clear: digital traceability is the future, whether through the DPP or another system.


    💰 The Cost of Compliance – and the Risk of Inaction
    For SMEs, the DPP isn’t just a regulatory hurdle—it’s a financial and operational challenge. From developing digital passports to cybersecurity risks, the stakes are high. And in a world where digital threats can cripple businesses overnight, can we afford to expose our data without ironclad protection?

    💥 Are We in a Digital War?
    Cyberattacks aren’t just disruptions—they’re weapons. If we won’t call it a war, we must at least ask: Should we hand our data to actors who aim to undermine, impoverish, or even destroy us?


    🔍 Two Systems, One Goal: Safety, Transparency, and Survival
    Whether in the UK or EU, the challenge is the same: balancing innovation, compliance, and security in a global market—without crushing SMEs.

    The good news? You don’t have to face this alone.
    Colemoi UK offers expert support to prepare your Digital Product Passport at the best cost, helping you stay compliant, competitive, and secure.

    The UK’s public consultation runs until June 23, 2026your voice can shape the future. But preparation starts now.

  • Stereognosis

    Stereognosis : does it sounds familiar to you ?

    Stereognosis, or tactile gnosis, is recognizing and identifying the characteristics of an object only by soliciting touch (tactile perceptions) as well as the position, weight,… (proprioceptive information) of an object.

    What’s the point ?

    Each of us, on a daily basis, often mechanically uses our ability to use or recognize objects without seeing them.

    It is the handle of the fork that we take without looking at it, the keys that we seek in the pocket, …

    Tactile discrimination, motor control, etc. are thus developed and allow ease in everyday life and the ability to then perform more complex actions.

    Early detection of difficulties in these areas will then allow a specialist to provide appropriate interventions.

    The mystery bag is one of the tools for developing stereognosis.

    But… what is this mystery bag?

    In the shape of a T-shirt but closed in its widest part by a zipper and sewn for the shortest part, the mystery bag has two sleeves in which the hands are introduced.

    Having previously entered the widest part of a GOSTOP board (with an adhesive pad) and, for example, the pieces of a tangram, the player must recognize the pieces by touch and match a model on this board without seeing pieces.

    The adhesive pad on which the player positions the pieces avoids an untimely movement of the pieces, which allows the realization to be removed from the mystery bag without the pieces moving.

    The board defines the playing surface and also facilitates tactile tracking.

    Special offer : buy one set, get one free for £10 only.

    For £10, you will receive

    1 mystery bag

    1 GOSTOP tray with its adhesive pad

    1 wooden tangram

    Free online access to download the playing cards

    All packaged in a fabric bag.

    The mystery bag can of course be used for many purposes related to tactile activities and be seen as an additional playing occupation to the Montessori curriculum.

    For instance, during a math lesson, recognize the geometrical shape only by touching.
