My Story

Welcome to my little corner of the world, where imagination takes the lead and creativity knows no bounds. My name is Jan, and I’m an experienced teacher with a deep passion for nurturing young minds. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible benefits of play – not just as a way to pass time, but as a powerful tool for learning, growth, and connection.

After years of teaching, I found myself drawn to something deeply important: the kind of toys that allow children to explore, experiment, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways. That’s why I decided to start this business – to share the open-ended toys I’ve carefully curated and designed myself, with the hope of sparking creativity, curiosity, and joy in every child who uses them.

Open-ended toys are special. They’re not confined by instructions or limited to a specific way of playing. Instead, they encourage children to use their imagination, build their own stories, and problem-solve in ways that support cognitive, emotional, and social development. Whether it’s stacking, building, pretending, or creating something completely unique, open-ended toys offer endless possibilities for growth and learning. They help children build resilience, confidence, and a love for exploration.

I believe that children are the best creators, dreamers, and inventors, and my goal is to provide them with the tools they need to unleash their potential. Each toy in my collection is handpicked or designed with love and care, made to support open-ended play that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and, most importantly, joy.

When you shop here, you’re not just buying toys – you’re investing in a child’s future. You’re helping to cultivate a lifelong love for learning, discovery, and imagination. It’s my hope that the toys I offer will become cherished tools in your child’s playtime adventures, just as they have in the classrooms and homes I’ve worked in over the years.

All our toys are made with toxin-free, child friendly materials that are safe for children. I hope you are able to find something here that your child will love, and please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions about our toys or even about open-ended play. 

Thank you for visiting. I’m so glad you’re here, and I’m excited to be a part of your family’s journey in discovering the magic of open-ended play.

Warmly,
Jan
