Designed beside the seaside in Blackpool, the land of candy ‘Floss’ and sticks of ‘Rock’, Floss & Rock keeps creativity and fun at the very core of the business. Prioritizing traditional play values and creating unique gifts and toys for children primarily aged two to ten, you can expect to see bright, modern twists on classic ideas that avoid tech, plastics and screen time and increase time spent playing, creating, imagining and learning new skills.
