FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Sticky Mosaics bring Ancient Art form to life!

The Orb Factory would like to introduce its new line of Sticky Mosaics being introduced in May 2004.  These new products will allow children of all ages to learn about Mosaics, while bringing their creative side to life.

Steven Kay, owner and founder of The Orb Factory for over 10 years, has invented over 80 products that are sold throughout the world.  The high quality of the toys, and his dedication to keeping an educational aspect in all products, has inspired the company to introduce their new line of Sticky Mosaics.  This amazing new line consists of 4 different products; Sticky Mosaics -  Kids Art, Sticky Mosaics - Classic, Sticky Mosaics - Celtic Art and Sticky Mosaics - Picture Frames.  This product makes creating a Mosaic both simple and fun.  By matching the colored sticky foam to its corresponding number, you can stick your way to a beautiful mosaic and display it for your friends and family.

Amongst this product line, you will find the Sticky Mosaics Classic.  The Orb Factory collaborated with the Brooklyn Museum of Art to create this new line of educational Mosaics, which includes original templates dating back to the 6th Century AD.  By applying sticky foam mosaic pieces, users can transform the basic template into a beautiful and colorful completed mosaic.

Sarah, Marketing Director for The Orb Factory stated that “the mission of The Orb Factory has always been to provide children with high quality toys that are both fun and educational”.  She hopes this new line of Sticky Mosaics “will allow children to create their own unique Mosaic designs and expand their artistic abilities, while giving them confidence and teaching them about the ancient art of Mosaics.”

Sarah explains that in today’s society, it is hard to come across toys that provide an educational component, while also giving the consumer valuable playtime.  “It is a hard market out there.  The specialty toy industry has some tough competition.  With game boys’ and the electronic world taking up a huge market, it is always a challenge to design the right toys while keeping the interests of the consumers in mind and providing the best value for the best price.”

Despite these challenges, The Orb Factory is proud to introduce their new line of Sticky Mosaics for release in May of 2004.  The consumer will be able to purchase this product online or in a local retail store near you.  For more information on the new line of Sticky Mosaics or any other Orb Factory Product, please contact Paul Higgins.
