children's colouring and crafts
The idea of the Carddies came about by chance…when Raquel started making little cardboard people and animals for her girls to colour in (Esther and Raquel used to make little cardboard dolls themselves as children). It didn't occur to Raquel initially that the idea of Carddies could have such wide appeal...
So perhaps one tip is that simply being a mum can give you ideas of how to make life with children a bit more fun/creative, and that children are the best guides of what will work well as a product.
Carddies Sports
Carddies Sports has a variety of sports children to be coloured in: a rower, a basketball player, a show jumper, gymnast, a wheelchair racer and more…The scene is a stadium with a cheering crowd –lots of little faces to be coloured in! (including a cheeky hidden dog!)
