Children can build their own animal companions and dive into imaginative worlds, all while developing creative confidence through play.

AS families head out for iftar gatherings, prepare for Raya visits and dress little ones for the festive season, Babyshop Malaysia has introduced its Ramadan 2026 collection, themed “Timeless Elegance”. Created for babies and children aged zero to eight years, the collection brings together festive style, sophisticated textures and everyday comfort, making it easy for little ones to look their best while still being able to twirl, race around cousins and stay comfortable through long evenings of celebration. The Ramadan 2026 collection places greater attention on fabric quality and details. Textured materials such as tweed, boucle and structured knits add depth and character, while tailored cuts ensure they remain suitable for Malaysia’s climate. For girls, the highlight colour this season is Rose, a refined blend of burgundy and pink, deeper hues that feels festive without being overpowering. It is complemented by classic creams and whites, accented with subtle touches of gold and silver. Voluminous dresses with gentle structure, including sculpted scuba designs, bring a special occasion feel, while coordinated sibling sets and mini matching looks for toddlers make family styling effortless. The dresses are designed not just for photographs, but for moments when little girls spin excitedly before heading out for iftar or Raya visits. For boys, the collection leans into a polished yet relaxed look. Smart casual pieces take centre stage, with premium twill shirts and knit polos replacing traditional jersey fabrics, offering A global study of 13,250 children across 13 countries commissioned by the Lego Group found friendships with animals, from real pets to toy companions, can significantly boost girls’ creativity, confidence and emotional well-being.

Bringing this spirit of creativity and connection into the real world, a series of interactive retail experiences and hands-on play opportunities invite young builders in Malaysia to the Lego Paw-fect Friends Forever Experience, where they can explore storytelling, self-expression and imaginative play through animal and nature builds.
