The World’s Cutest Bunny Miffy has Released an Adorable Range of Products and Clothing Just in Time for Easter
So with Easter now just around the corner everyone will soon be turning their attention to chocolate, eggs and bunnies. Speaking of which, hand ups if you remember Miffy, that sweet little bunny that was around in everyone’s childhood?

The Miffy homewares will be a gorgeous addition to your child’s room if you are planning to redecorate this autumn, and the clothing will keep you and your kids nice and warm – perfect now that the weather is getting more chilly!
Adored by children around the world for more than 60 years, the little white bunny was first created in 1955 by Dutch artist Dick Bruna who only recently passed away on February 17 aged 89. His classic picture books depicted Miffy and her friends enjoying innocent, gentle childhood experiences which charmed both kids and parents. In recent times a whole new generation of young fans have discovered Miffy on TV – via the series ‘Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small’ screened daily on ABC KIDS.
In addition, Miffy, also has a new app for iOS, available from the App Store, priced at $5.99 which will be available from Google Play soon.
Aimed at kids under five, the Miffy app has been designed to build early cognitive development, encourages creativity and aims to cultivate an interest in nature and outdoor activities.
