I didn’t plan to start a toy brand.
Like most parents, I was just watching my kids play (really play). The kind of play where hands are busy and imagination takes over.
They loved building, they loved painting, and they could happily switch between the two for hours.
But there was always a catch.
Building toys stayed in one place. Painting meant pulling out supplies, setting up, and eventually, cleaning up. And traveling with either? That usually meant packing half the house.
One day, I found myself asking a simple question:
What if one toy could do both?
What if kids could build and paint, without the mess, without the hassle, and without needing a big setup?
What if it was easy enough to bring along, yet open-ended enough to grow with them?
That question stayed with me.
I started brainstorming ideas. I wanted something that encouraged creativity, independence, and confidence. Something that felt intuitive, not overwhelming.
Slowly, that idea took shape.
Build n’ Doodle was born from the belief that creativity doesn’t have to be complicated. That kids deserve tools that invite exploration, not instructions. And that play should work with family life, not against it.
Today, Build n’ Doodle is more than a toy. It’s a way for kids to create freely, for parents to feel good about the play happening in their home, and for families to carry creativity wherever they go.
What started with my kids is now something I’m proud to share with families like yours.
Thanks for being part of the story 💛
