About Us

Welcome to Squiggle!

The concept of Squiggle was born from our desire to provide unique products for children that inspire them to get creative.

For parents looking for something a little different from all the mass produced toys available in the big shops.

Our aim is to help parents provide stimulating craft experiences without the hassle!

All our products are made and created by us personally. 

 

A little bit bit about us ....

We are both called Claire and we both have boy/girl twins who are 6 months apart in age. 

We bumped into each other at a cafe and got talking because we both had the same twin pram....both had twins and then discovered we were both called Claire! We just had to swap numbers and we’ve been friends ever since. 

 

 

I am Claire (Delpierre), mother to 4. 

My twins are my youngest and I also have 2 teenagers!

In a previous life I was a professional dancer having trained at a Theatre School in London. I started work in retail when I was just 16 and went back to retail in between dance contracts and babies. 

I met my husband while working on a cruise ship and he whisked me away to Cape Town where we’ve lived now for over 16 years.

I look after our social media, website and orders. 

We both create and make up sets and it takes both of us to make our playdough! 

 

 

 

Claire Cummock is mom to 2 and is renowned for her amazing cakes and birthday parties. 

She studied textile design at Cape Tech which led her to work for Marks and Spencer’s in England in the visual merchandising and store policy department.

Claire is the talented artist that designs and draws all of our amazing colouring posters and handcrafts all of our accessories that make our sensory sets so unique. From hand painting our cut outs to making monster parts and mini vegetables!

 

 

We hope that you and your children love our products as much as we love making them and thank each and every one of you for your continued support in our  mummy adventure.
