Niki and Adam Ellis create individualized toys for children as a way to help children feel better about themselves. They start with conversations with parents to learn of their children’s interests and then design something just right, perhaps a puzzle, a stuffy, a top, or a yoyo. Some toys are 3D printed and some games are online. They also offer workshops for children to make their own toys for themselves and others. Their goal is to create a group of makers.
