Eatsleepdoodle has created a brand new gift to raise money for Beth’s Sunflowers, a charity that raises vital funds for blood cancer research and patients. The new colour-in & grow sunflower pencil case features a garden with sunflowers, plants and more for kids to colour in and explore. The creative new double-sided pencil case also comes complete with a set of 10 wash-out fabric pens and contains a packet of sunflower seeds to sow and grow at home.
In support of the charity, Eatsleepdoodle is donating £5 from every sale of the pencil case directly to Beth’s Sunflowers. This contributes to funding leukaemia and blood cancer research and supports current patients undergoing treatment by providing them with respite breaks.
Andrea Childs founded Beth’s Sunflowers to keep her daughter Beth’s legacy alive.
“Our partnership with Eatsleepdoodle and these pencil cases holds a special significance for us,” says Childs. “Beth, who was training to be a primary school teacher at university when she was diagnosed, inspires this product aimed at younger children, creating a meaningful legacy in her honour.
“Everyone loves sunflowers, and everyone enjoys colouring, so this wonderful project, which also allows each child to receive a packet of sunflower seeds to grow at home, serves as a tremendous force for good.”
Beth was a champion fundraiser and spent her life helping others. After losing Beth, Andrea, her family and friends felt strongly that they needed to carry on her work in fundraising as her legacy. After Beth sadly lost her battle with Leukaemia, another patient’s mum grew some sunflowers as a tribute to all the young people who had fought but tragically lost their battles with cancer.
Those first sunflowers were grown and harvested, and from those original flowers the team now produces thousands of seeds each year, including the seeds that come complete with each pencil case.

“When we first met with Andrea, we knew this project was something we immediately wanted to get involved with. The charity is doing amazing work, and hearing its story from Andrea herself was truly inspiring. We are so pleased to be working with Beth’s Sunflowers and helping to raise money for such a worthwhile cause.”
