Supergraph
The ideal tool for budding artists, SUPERGRAPH® allows you to draw anything, anywhere, with its unique, drawing system.
Just find a picture you want to copy, clip it into the picture support and look through the special optical viewer to see the picture magically appear in front of you. You can then simply draw around the ‘outlines’ of the picture and your drawing is copied onto your sheet of paper! Alternatively you can remove the picture support altogether and look through the viewer to copy an object, person or scene in front of you. SUPERGRAPH® works with a tablet too – trace any photo from your tablet onto paper, or use the free SUPERGRAPH® app to draw onto your tablet (device not included, app compatible with IOS and Android)

Lexie Drew was created in 2019 by a ‘mummy daughter trio’ who were on the lookout for practical yet stylish bibs for the newest arrival into their family… Lexie. As a serial drooler, Lexie always needed to have her bib on, but this bib would always cover up whatever she was wearing underneath, however beautiful. Not only could we not find attractive bibs for Lexie, we also couldn’t find bibs that were sufficiently absorbent, meaning that we had to change Lexie frequently.
