ZURU, one of the world’s largest toy manufacturers has launched a new animation series and toy line, Eggy Wawa, designed to help young kids come out of their shells by encouraging their natural curiosity.
The series follows the adventures of four children and Sheldon the elephant, their knowledgeable teacher as they learn and explore with Eggy Wawa, magical eggs that reveal surprises and solutions to all the questions that pop up on their quests.
Now available in South Africa, the Eggy Wawa series has debuted on YouTube with 47 episodes and the accompanying toy line features characters from the series.
Bringing the on-screen narrative and learnings into real-life play, the themed interactive Eggy Wawa eggs provide quality play and enriching play patterns to build upon the animated storytelling.
The surprise eggs feature characters, music and elements from the show and lends itself to varying development stages of infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers to recreate the adventures seen on screen and to help them learn and play.
The themed eggs will be available at leading retailers in South Africa from July, which include the Eggy Wawa, Learn in the Bath, Learn on the Farm and Learn at School. Each of the Eggy Wawa 30cm eggs are filled with toys related to the episodes, including the characters from the animations.
For example, the Eggy Wawa Learn in the Bath allows your child to crack open the eggs to discover 19 layers, with the set including a fishing net, to develop fine motor skills, an electronic musical egg to discover dance and movement, ocean creature bath squirters and bath stickers to learn about some of the most common marine animals. The included bubble bath helps bridge daily routines with a fun learning experience.
The Eggy Wawa Learn on the Farm brings entertainment to learning with 34 surprises – inside each egg kids can discover an array of farm animal figurines with flashcards to help them explore the world around them and get hands-on with pressing, rolling and moulding farm-themed shapes with coloured dough.
The Eggy Wawa Learn at School eggs help teach your child letter, word, number and colour recognition with the flashcards and poster charts. 60 surprises to discover with ABC, number and dough cut outs for hands-on learning in order to boost your child’s fine motor skills.
“The content is specifically created for young children with safe and familiar faces guiding kids to try new things.” says Glenn Ambrose, Country Manager at ZURU. “It’s a really cute series and the Eggy Wawa toys are just as cool as the show, with the eggs doing all sorts of fun things while teaching kids valuable lessons.”
He adds that the combination of the animation series with a toy range really brings a world of imagination and fun together to capture more of the pre-school market in South Africa. “There are several future animations in the pipeline with toy ranges to match and as a company we’re looking forward to setting new benchmarks in the animation industry, which tell stories that inspire, entertain and educate,” he explains.
Watch the Eggy Wawa series free on YouTube and combine with one of the eggs available at leading toy retailers.
