I’m so excited to tell you that I’m now part of Miffy Mums. You have probably seen that beautiful badge that I have in my sidebar on the right! Isn’t it lovely? It’s such a lovely character, who wouldn’t be happy to be part of this group of Mums? Miffy is just an adorable bunny!! 🙂
If you didn’t know, Miffy is a cute white rabbit, originally created in 1955 by Dutch author, artist and illustrator Dick Bruna while he was on holidays with his family. Bruna drew a little bunny rabbit whilst telling his son a bedtime story about a little rabbit who runs around the holiday home at night. Miffy is a girl because Bruna preferred to draw Miffy wearing a skirt rather than trousers. Up until 1963 Miffy had floppy ears, but from 1963 they perked up and Miffy looked like the rabbit we are used to seeing today.
Can you believe that Miffy is 60 years old already? It’s really amazing to have had so many years entertaining kids around the world, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIFFY!!! Now that I’m part of Miffy Mums, I have the opportunity to review some of Miffy’s products as well as receiving details of activities Miffy has organised for the remainder of the year and for 2016! A lot of exciting things will be happening and I will be letting you know as soon as I find out more details!! Isn’t this great? Yes it is, hurrah!!!
You can see a short one minute film below which showcases the most iconic Miffy illustrations from the last 60 years. It is fun to watch:
Welcome Pack from Miffy
We received a beautiful little orange welcome bag containing 5 cute little story books, an activity book and a party celebration kit. It was all so cute!! My girls loved it all!!
The books were all different colours and are so adorable. My girls love them because the stories are interesting and the illustrations are very bright and colourful. The titles were, Miffy’s Birthday, Miffy, Miffy’s garden, Miffy and Melanie, and Miffy at the playground. It was great to have such a nice little ready made collection.
All these books and more are available at Waterstones with an RRP of £4.99. If you like Miffy and their books maybe you could go have a look. It could be a nice gift for Christmas.
Dick Bruna has written more than 30 Miffy books, including Miffy at the Gallery, Miffy at the Zoo and Miffy’s Garden. Because of Miffy’s uncomplicated, innocent and positive nature, she appeals to children all over the world. Young children can relate to Miffy’s exciting adventures.
This activity book, “Christmas with Miffy” was fantastic. Bella loves it. She was so concentrated doing all the different activities. The stickers were lovely and very festive, perfect for this time of the year. Any child would be very happy to have an activity book like this. You can also find this activity book at Waterstones with an RRP of £4.99
Miffy and her friends are now starring in a brand new TV show “Miffy’s Adventures Big and Small” packed full of fun and adventure on Tiny Pop. It can be watched every day at 7 pm or 7:30 am during #miffymornings. The new series marks the first time Miffy has been seen in CGI. The series comprises 52, 7 minute long episodes which see Miffy and her friends exploring the exciting world around her.
You can also find Miffy on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and you can also browse around Miffy’s boards on Pinterest.

This is so exciting – I LOVE Miffy! x
Awww I love Miffy so much! This really takes me back to my childhood. I can’t believe it’s 60 years old! That’s crazy. So good to see it back on the TV. Sienna looks so cute in the hat too! 😀 Your welcome pack is so cute. xx
I love Miffy, I remember her as a kid, now both my two girls love watching Miffy in the mornings on telly.
I remember Miffy from when I was little. Funny that she is 60 years old and on Instagram. Looks like you will have some exciting treats in store for 2016. Look forward to seeing your future posts.
We love Miffy. It is something we have read since Sylvia was young, visiting the library. I like the books but also the Miffy Bag. It is very cool! Angela
I can’t believe Miffy is 60 years old!! I remember Miffy when I was little, I’m sure it’s something I will share with Mini M x
We haven’t tried Miffy in our house, I think we need to give it a go as they looks like lovely stories 🙂
Congratulations, this is amazing! We love Miffy – especially my 2-year-old daughter. The welcome pack looks fantastic, there are so many lovely books & activities. You will be a fantastic Miffy Mum! x
This welcome pack looks really good! I haven’t been introduced yet…so hopefully Father Christmas might help with that!! #KCACOLS
I saw a few Miffy books when I lived in the UK, but since moving here to New Zealand, I don’t think I’ve seen Miffy once! The new animation looks awesome! They’ve done such a great job. And the Miffy gift bag looks so cool. Especially those Miffy ears!!! Cute! #KCACOLS
I’ve heard of Miffy before but never seen or owned any of the products. They look really lovely – colourful and fun! So interesting to learn a little bit about the history of the character, thanks 🙂 #KCACOLS
Miffy certainly has been around a long time, lovely to see a classic still going though #KCACOLS
So adorable! I love Miffy, the simple, bright designs are still so eyecatching and fun. I’m really into kawaii kids things and have lots of early design Sanrio stuff, but there aren’t so many western characters which fit the look – so that’s where Miffy comes in for me! 🙂
I remember Miffy well from what I call the olden days! Nice to see a bit of a revival with the to programme but still keeping the retro look on the books and stuff. #kcacols
Gorgeous pics of your little ones! I love Miffy. I remember it from my childhood. We only have the one book for my two. I’ll keep an eye out for more. x #kcacols
My kids used to love Miffy! My youngest loved Miffy until a couple of years ago and now, he’s sadly outgrown her. We even met Miffy at a performance. That was so fun! I love the illustrations! Thank you for hosting #KACOLS

Wow I’ve never heard of it, looks really great for the little ones, my little girlie would love it, definitely something to look into…ahead of Christmas! #KCACOLS
I can’t believe that it is 60 years old! We read Miffy when I was at school although my children don’t have a copy of any. The welcome pack looks very colourful and fun. Anything that engages children in reading has to be good! I didn’t know that there was a new series on tv! Love the photos of Sienna 🙂 #KCACOLS
Gorgeous post. My husband had a Miffy obsession as a child and his comforter was a Miffy he took everywhere! In keeping with this tradition we got our son one as well as the set of books featured in this post! A classic and a family tradition! Thanks for sharing 🙂 #KCACOLS
I love Miffy! So cute, simple and traditional. Congrats on being a Miffy Mum. ☺️ #KCACOLS
Oooh, you lucky thing! Love Miffy. Hasn’t quite captured my daughter’s imagination yet, but I guess there’s time!

Ahhh I love Miffy 🙂 I have bought a little bag of stories for Thea as part of her Christmas present, I think it might be the same collection but I’m not sure. I think she’s going too love them! Congrats on being a Miffy Mum! Becky xx #KCACOLS
