The Story of the Campbell's Kids

The Campbell Kids may have been the most popular kids in America during most of this century. While they were first drawn in 1904 by artist Grace Gebbie Drayton, the Campbell Soup Company started offering the Campbell Kids as dolls in 1910. From then on, they have been "souper" collectibles! They have appeared in all vinyl and cloth and plastic, and have been manufactured by some of the premier toy manufacturing companies in the nation, including Ideal. They have come dressed in costumes ranging from historical representations to simple outfits promoting Campbell's products.
