And while looks are certainly an important factor in winning over children, they’re no less so when it comes to grown-ups too! Here are a few tips to help you create original products which will dazzle your littlest customers.

1.Choose a Theme

Fictional characters and the traditional bunnies, fish and hens can easily be utilized – But also redesigned. 

It’s essential you choose a theme that links all your characters and molded items. This way, you’ll make sure your store has a coherency to it, but most importantly it will give your customers the feeling of stepping into another world. 

2.Be Inspired by the Everyday 

Once you’ve selected your theme, give yourself a few days to collect lots of different things which link in with the theme, such as pictures, colors, shapes or textures. Sometimes, these can turn out to be the tiny details that lie at the heart of beautiful creation. 

Keep your eyes peeled!

 3.Make Your Creations 

Here are a few examples to consider: 

1. Bring your creations to life 

If you want your creations to grab children’s attention, it’s vital they seem to have a life of their own. 

Feel free to give them facial expressions – pay particular attention to the eyes and mouth – and to create a character series using chocolates of different colors or with a range of expressions. 

You also have the choice of either opting for a traditional mold or revisiting a classic such as an egg or bunny to transform it into a stylized character or alter its volume or shape.
