Our History

Clockwork Soldier Today


Clockwork Soldier is one of the UK market leaders of children’s design led gifts. As the company has grown, we have stayed true to our core value - working with lovely independent companies. The only difference is that we work with a few more of them now!


We are proud to be a multi award-winning company with sustainable values, a fun, nostalgic appeal, and a modern approach.

We are excited about every product we create and in finding new and interesting ways to play. Our kits are designed for holistic learning across a huge range of topics including, nature, dinosaurs, theatre and space.

Clockwork Soldier the Future

The future at Clockwork Soldier is looking bright. We’re full of excitement about new projects, partnerships and collaborations. Creating innovative new products is the driving force behind everything we do

When developing new products, we don’t pay attention to trends or fads but often look to areas of social change as starting points. The changing landscape of shopping has led to customers looking for destinations, maybe with a lunch option and something for the kids to do. With this in mind, we have created a new farmyard range to be sold at farm shops and visitor centres. Wildlife and nature products are also becoming a bigger focus for us with kits like our new World Wildlife map.

Another focus of ours is reducing waste and removing plastics from our products. Kits like our pocket money range are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic party bag and stocking filler toys. We’re currently exploring adding our own unique twist to adult hobby craft and gifts.

The themes of science, magic and architecture, card games and book design are also on our radar – watch this space!
