Leap Year’s latest range will bring the author’s work to puzzles, crafts and more. 

NORTH AMERICA–The Joester Loria Group and Leap Year Publishing, in association with its subsidiary The Jigsaw Puzzle Factory, have expanded their partnership to create a new line of arts and crafts and puzzles inspired by The World of Eric Carle.

Under the terms of the agreement, Leap Year will initially develop a range that includes puzzles in wood, foam and chip-board featuring characters from The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other series. Meanwhile, an arts and crafts range will include crayons, paint sets, bubbles, doodle pads and construction paper.

Leap Year’s puzzle collection will be on display at Toy Fair, Feb. 17-20, and its arts and crafts line will launch this fall.
