Artificial intelligence has been an integral part of our daily lives, from digital voice assistants and personalised recommendations to smart devices at home. Now, this technology is also conquering the world of toys. With the trend, "AI Loves (to) Play", products that can do much more than just react are now taking on centre stage. They recognise individual preferences, support children in solving tasks, tell stories and evolve alongside their young users. From adaptive robots and talking play figures to intelligent learning systems, modern AI toys create a new, interactive play experience that combines both technology and imagination. Plus, many AI toys work without a display, reducing the screen being in the focus.

As a counterpoint to digital innovation, the "Creative Mindfulness" trend focuses on the conscious experience of creativity and craftsmanship. Creative activities open up new perspectives and offer a moment of both relaxation and inspiration. Children immerse themselves in the worlds of colours and materials with curiosity, letting their imaginations run wild, and subsequently they acquire new skills. Adults can use creative activities as a way to leave everyday life behind and clear their minds. "Creative Mindfulness" invites you to explore a wide variety of creative paths, from painting and crafting to upcycling and artisanal techniques, such as woodworking, felting or pottery. The joy of creating something with your own hands promotes concentration, self-confidence and mindfulness.
