🌟 ND Kids: Celebrating Neurodivergent Brilliance through Creative Play

ND Kids is a South-African brand on a heartfelt mission: to honour and empower neurodivergent children through thoughtfully designed colouring and activity books. Founded by Carla Janse van Rensburg, their products are tailored to children with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sensory sensitivities and strong executive tendencies. These books aren’t just for fun—they’re tools for nurturing focus, emotion regulation, fine motor development and self-confidence in a safe, welcoming space.


🎯 Mission & Vision

ND Kids believes every child “isn’t ‘too much’—they’re extraordinary just as they are.” Their mission is to transform colouring into a tool for relaxation, self-expression, and building inner strength. They envision a world where neurodivergent kids feel understood, supported and inspired. Their “Our Story” page emphasizes empowerment over fitting in: “Kids with ADHD, sensory sensitivities, autism…finally getting the space to thrive”—not adapt.


📚 Thoughtful Product Range

Available in digital and upcoming hardcopy formats, their books are deliberately crafted for diverse neurodevelopmental needs. Highlights include:

  • Bright Minds Learn Differently – A dyslexia-friendly colouring adventure, recently launched in print after selling well as an eBook
  • Fast Minds, Big Ideas (ADHD)
  • Brilliant Minds (autistic thinkers)
  • Breathe & Colour (anxiety)
  • Calm the Tics (Tourette’s)
  • Colour & Focus (executive function)
  • Gentle Colours (sensory-sensitive)

Each title blends structured designs, high contrast, sensory-safe patterns, and traces to improve fine motor and emotional focus.


📰 Company Updates & Expansion

One of their proudest achievements: turning “Bright Minds Learn Differently” into a printed book available on Amazon—an emotional milestone representing the brand’s growth and commitment to quality. Carla also notes plans to partner with local printers to offer South-African delivery, making tactile, sensory-friendly resources more affordable and accessible ND Kids.
