Co-director of P2 Games Gerry Whiteside added: We are delighted to be partnering with Koch UK on this very exciting project. The Blue Ocean brand is now well established in the UK and already offers consumers a great range of quality and value for money accessories.

We wanted only the best for Peppa and her family. I believe that through our collaboration we have achieved this by producing an amazing pack that is sure to be on this year’s Christmas list for kids.”

P2 Games has also published a No.1 Peppa Pig DS game, as well as a forthcoming Wii game.
