What’s New: a round up of our NEW eatsleepdoodle products!
You may have noticed that we’ve been busy little bees at eatsleepdoodle HQ this year! Our team has been hard at work imagining new products and designs to add to the eatsleepdoodle range and we couldn’t be happier with what we’ve doodled up so far! As you’ll probably already know, we’re obsessed with making fun, educational and sustainable colour-in gifts to inspire endless creative adventures - and have possibly outdone ourselves this year (if we may say so ourselves!).
From doodling up brand new designs to creating an entirely new colour-in gift (hello pj’s!) there are now even more opportunities to get your eatsleepdoodle on! Whether you're travelling, getting cosy for bedtime or planning a day of play away from the Winter rain, our new products are guaranteed to offer hours of entertainment and endless opportunities to colour, wash, and repeat!
So with this in mind, we thought it was about time we did a recap of all the incredible products that joined the eatsleepdoodle family this year - let's dive into what's new! new! new!
Spring 2024
We’re kicking off our round up with something we launched all the way back in March! For years at Christmas retail fairs, Niki has been asked by our wonderful customers ‘do you do a world map pencil case?’ so this year we set to work making it a reality!
After lots of trial and error (turns out it’s very tricky trying to fit the world onto a pencil case!) we finally did it! Featuring the world map and the Seven Wonders of the Modern World on one side, and all your favourite animals & sea creatures on the other, our world map pencil case combines the fun and adventure of our iconic design with the handy size of our pencil cases. We are so happy to have added to our wonderful world map collection and are super excited to be heading into the festive season saying ‘yes, we do have it as a pencil case!’.
Summer 2024
You doodle fans love our butterfly and fairytale crossbody bags, so we were always playing with ideas of what we should do next. And with so many people always asking if we ‘do anything for a child that likes mermaids?’, the puzzle pieces all fell into place!
Despite seeming like a simple idea, we thought a LOT about this design and worked hard to make a design we were 100% happy with! Surprisingly, one of our biggest challenges was making all the mermaids look like they were underwater without having too much empty space in the sky or a strange perspective on the water line. However, with a few tweaks here and there, it was finally everything we had dreamed of!
This adorable new addition features magical mermaid illustrations and under-the-sea scenes just waiting for a splash of colour! Kids can customise their bag with unique colours for the mermaids' tails, colourful fish and shell details using the included wash-out fabric pens. And, once they're done, a quick wash means all the ink disappears and it is ready for more mermaid fun!
We love our new mermaid crossbody bag as an on-the-go activity and accessory all in one! An ideal companion to keep hold of shells and other precious treasures, it is the perfect gift for holidays, sleepovers, and fantastical adventures!
Whilst creating our mermaid crossbody bag, we couldn’t stop ourselves from thinking about a design idea we had on our list for a while – under the sea…
The whole of eatsleepdoodle HQ loved the idea of an under the sea design, so we knew we had to do this one justice! We wanted a fun underwater scene with everyone’s favourite marine life but, as a company that loves to make learning fun, also wanted to make this design super educational! After lots of discussion we had our ‘light bulb moment’ – let’s explore the different layers of the ocean!
Filled with stunning marine illustrations of whales, turtles and other sea creatures, plus an educational scene showing the ocean’s depths and zones, our new under the sea pillowcase lets kids embark on deep-sea adventures from the comfort of their own bed! Kids can dive into fun facts about marine life and what lives into different parts of our oceans whilst also enjoying fun, creative and imaginative play! When the ocean adventure is over, just toss it in the wash and it’s ready to ‘sea’ more colouring fun!
We’re so proud of how our under the sea design turned out and think our pillowcase is the perfect ocean gift for kids who love sea life and exploration! We can’t wait to see what might splash into the under the sea collection next…
Autumn 2024
Calling all nature lovers, this one’s for you!
It’s no secret that we love all things nature here at eatsleepdoodle, so it should be unsurprising that as soon as the words ‘woodland design’ came up in our brainstorming, we just HAD to make it happen!
After a long time spent researching British flora and fauna, we created one of our cutest designs yet! Our brand-new colour-in woodland placemat to go is perfect for anyone who loves furry forest friends, intriguing insects and fantastic fungi and is filled with woodland whimsy!
With the wonderful woodland scene filled with foxes, badgers, owls and more on one side and the hand-drawn nature icons on the other, our woodland placemat can bring out the explorer in anyone – plus there’s even space to jot down nature notes and doodle your own animal drawings!
As always, when you’re ready for another woodland walk, you can just pop the placemat on a warm machine wash and the ink magically disappears! It of course comes complete with a set of magic wash-out pens and is perfectly packaged in a matching mini forest green tote bag for endless colouring adventures!
Perfect for picnics, mealtimes and outdoor trips, we love our new woodland placemat to go and think it is the best gift for kids this year that combines learning with creativity!
Another one of our favourite (or should we say favorite!) designs is our US Map collection! Featuring a map of the USA with states and their individual state animals, plants and birds, our US Map design makes for such a fun American themed activity whether you’re on a US road trip or dreaming of an adventure across the pond - plus, it’s a great way to learn the 50 states! However, we noticed that our tablecloth and pillowcase seemed a little lonely and needed a colourful friend neatly packed in a matching tote back - thus our US Map placemat to go was born!
The placemat of course features our amazing hand-drawn map of the United States on one side but, as all our placemats are double sided, we had to think up something just as fun for the other! After exploring lots of options, we decided to follow the theme of our London placemat to go and figured what could be better than an adventure notebook with iconic US monuments and symbols!
With this new addition to our US collection, kids (and adults!) can explore all 50 states while learning about their state capitals, animals, birds and flowers, then take a trip to lady liberty or join in the painting of the golden gate bridge! Plus, just wash and start the adventure all over again. It even comes with a USA blue mini cotton tote, making it the perfect travel companion!
Our latest (and biggest) new product…
Introducing: colour-in pyjamas!
You asked, we answered… after countless requests we are so excited to introduce an entirely new product to the eatsleepdoodle range: our BRAND NEW first-ever colour-in pyjamas!
With a choice of our two bestselling dinosaurs and fairytales & legends designs, these fun and unique pyjama sets are THE gift for kids this Christmas!
Available in three sizes (4-5 years, 5-6 years, and 6-7 years) and crafted from 100% high-quality single jersey cotton, they’re not only super soft and cosy but are also the perfect canvas for colour-in creativity! And with adorable colour-coordinated cuffs and collars, each set of our colour-in pjs come complete in an adorable matching drawstring bag (hello sleepover kit!) with an included set of 10 wash-out fabric pens.
Whether your child is off on a prehistoric adventure colouring in T-Rex and Triceratops or stepping into a fairytale land of unicorns, dragons, and princesses, our new colour in pyjamas are perfect for bedtime creativity, Christmas eve boxes and sleepover parties! And as with all our gifts, a simple machine wash makes the magic ink disappear and you're ready to colour in all over again!
This project was a huge labour of love for us at eatsleepdoodle and we are beyond excited for you to finally get your hands on them!
We’re so proud of this year’s launches and we can’t wait for you to try them out! From expanding our world map and US Map ranges with new colour-in gifts, doodling up our new mermaid and under the sea designs, to creating an entirely NEW colour-in gift with our colour-in pyjamas, your Christmas shopping just got a whole lot easier!
Happy doodling!
