We believe that playing is the most productive thing our kiddos can do. The freedom of play expands a child`s room for growth by sparking curiosity, interaction, and wonder, welcoming their excitement to discover the world around them. Our mission is to maximize kids` room to grow with intelligent and stimulating products that inspire them to explore, create, discover, and be silly. To keep our promise we follow our own advice. We don`t have an office. We have a laboratory. Each product starts as an experiment. Each experiment starts with an idea. And every single idea comes from doing what we love: playing.
