Lyla and Jacob Ewis started making the keyrings because they wanted to do something to help the NHS.

They started last weekend, colouring in their own designs to praise and thanks NHS staff and keyworkers.

The youngsters pinned them on display board outside their Cranfield home for people to buy as they passed by on their daily exercise.

By day three the pair had made an incredible £210.

"We have been overwhelmed with people getting in contact to buy a keyring," said their mum Samantha.

The children have been busy making keyrings all week and they have now sold a total of 120, with orders have come from as far afield as America.

The pair have also had a bulk order from all the staff at the local Co-op store.

"It would be amazing if children could do this all around MK and the funds go to Milton Keynes hospital," said Samantha.
