In South Africa, August is dedicated to honouring the remarkable women who shape our families, communities, and country. Women’s Month is the perfect time to celebrate them with creativity and care.
This year, instead of a traditional card, why not invite children to make something interactive and full of surprises?
This printable colouring card works like a magical “exquisite corpse”: as it unfolds, new drawings are revealed, coming together to form a beautiful illustration. It’s a playful and meaningful way for children to express love and appreciation through a personalised gift for mums, grandmothers, teachers, or any woman who inspires them.
