MasterPieces, Inc. today announced that it is set to debut its line of games and puzzles for Clifford The Big Red Dog® as a part of the company’s new license agreement with Scholastic Entertainment Inc.
MasterPieces, which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year, will “unleash” its Clifford The Big Red Dog games and puzzles as a part of its largest product display ever at the International Toy Fair in New York, held Feb. 22-25 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
“We are thrilled to welcome MasterPieces to our Clifford family as they celebrate their 25th anniversary,” says Lynne Karppi, Director Creative Licensing at Scholastic Entertainment. “The new Clifford The Big Red Dog TV series focuses on imaginative play and storytelling, making MasterPieces and its great range of products the perfect partner for games and puzzles!”
The new products, which should be in stores for Spring 2020, include:
- Clifford’s journeys and adventures come alive as children create their own stories with Clifford’s Story Cards ($9.99), in this imaginative-play card game.
- The Clifford The Big Red Dog Matching Game ($9.99) is a fun memory game for preschoolers and children.
- The Clifford The Big Red Dog Sing-A-Long 24-piece sound puzzle ($14.99) has a self-contained push-button sound chip, with an on-off switch, that fits into puzzle. The sound chip plays a 30-second Clifford The Big Red Dog song while the 24 extra-large pieces of the puzzle are assembled. The puzzle completes to an 18” x 24” size. The thick recycled puzzle board and random cut pieces ensure a tight interlocking fit and create a fun activity that can be built repeatedly.
- The Clifford The Big Red Dog Giant Floor Puzzle ($15.99) is shaped to match Clifford’s loveable form, and is over 3 feet wide. MasterPieces created this extra big puzzle featuring the extra big dog with three special custom-shaped pieces for kids to discover.
