It specialises in creative card and paper activity kits for both children and adults. Inventive paper engineering meets beautiful retro illustration, with a modern design twist. Clockwork Soldier was founded in 2010 from the back bedroom of founder, Rob Dakin’s flat. The original ranges were born from a need for beautiful alternatives to traditional toys. Over the years the brand has developed to include holistic learning themes and the use of sustainable materials. The offerings have covered gardening kits, stationery sets, puzzles, games, and novelty gifts. Now the company focuses on creative kits that encourage building or making which can also be used to decorate a bedroom wall or desk. Clockwork Solider products are carried by a huge range of stockists including garden centres, visitor attractions and farm shops. The needs of its customers are always part of its development process and ranges like the new pocket money collection cater to a desire for eco-friendly rainy day and stocking filler products, perfect for picking up at the till. As a member of a Forest Stewardship Council® certified group scheme (FSC-C004309), it is committed to sourcing paper and board used in the manufacture of our products from certified responsibly managed forests.
