BIO

Mudpuppy curates the wonders of the world for kids – scaled and interpreted in artful ways that inspire discovery and exploration — and always cast through a thoughtful and positive lens of kindness.

We create toys, puzzles and games that delight kids with color, design, and ideas about the world, sparking imagination and creating experiences that engage the whole family.

We’re an innovative team with a “design-first” sensibility. We’re in constant collaboration with artists and illustrators – from household names to emerging talents – who help make everything we do beautiful, interesting, high-quality, high-utility and eco-responsible.
