Hello again!
In my previous post about Children and Nature Awareness Month, I shared about our South African themed memory games, which we started introducing to our product offering in August 2022. We have just completed the artwork for our fourth instalment: Wildlife of South Africa (think "safari"). We are waiting with huge anticipation for the launch. Unfortunately, with the ridiculous load-shedding schedule we've had of late, we might be waiting longer than we'd hoped.
But, the great news is that the artwork for the fourth memory game was ready just in time for a top-up order of our existing three themes. So, we've put in a reorder of those at the same time (birds, flowers and sea life), and decided to use the opportunity to add something exciting to each game in this fresh batch... 'fun facts' pamphlets!
This was the genius idea of one of our customers. Being a Mom with three bird-loving kids, she mentioned that she thought her kids would have loved to read up a few little facts about each bird variety in our Birds of South Africa Memory Game after playing it together. We just loved that idea! So we spent hours sifting through hoards of information about 25 South African birds, 25 South African flowers, 25 South African Sea creatures and 25 South African safari animals to put together lovely little inserts with 2-3 facts about each species/variety. Take a look at some of them below...
The process of working on these pamphlets and searching for fun facts was the biggest blessing for us. We learned so many incredible things about the creatures that live in this country. My mind was blown and I really struggled to narrow it down to just 2-3 facts per animal; but I had to be a little ruthless due to space.
