About

It all started with a birthday.

When my three year old son struggled to process his older brothers birthday – being born in the same month – I found myself thinking of ways to help him understand his world. I tried putting myself in his shoes – he couldn’t read, but he loved colouring, and loved visual cues that helped him handle transitions. I made for him a birthday countdown calendar and put it up on the fridge. When I saw the look on his face – and later the reaction of other parents and friends who also saw it, I thought this was something other children would enjoy too.

All the items are products I have made for my own two sons – things to help them understand their world, to develop and have fun, and live successfully in their world. Items are also tested in a wider, more demanding audience – that of Primary School children that are friends of my two sons.

All items are made/assembled by hand. The packaging may look more than just an amateur; I credit that long-ago job as a 16 year old doing graphic design. I care a lot about quality and good production, but hand-made items do occasionally result in the rare blemish. If anything is wrong with your order, I am happy to replace or fix as best as possible.
