✨ Our Story

From Our Family to Yours

👨‍👩‍👧

CritterPods™ began with a big idea from a very small entrepreneur.

Our daughter has been dreaming up businesses since she was little, turning our home into shops, schools, and restaurants, and inviting anyone who would listen to be a customer. When she spotted an opportunity at a local farmers market, she went all in — planning, dreaming, and building something completely her own.

Her first idea didn’t work out. So she went back to the drawing board. With access to a Borrowed 3D printer and a challenge to create something truly different, she imagined her first playset: a themed world with animals already inside. One booth at the farmers market changed everything.

What started as a single idea quickly grew into multiple playsets, more markets, and a brand that now ships to families around the world. Today, CritterPods is still led by her imagination — and supported by a family proud to help bring her ideas to life.

Every CritterPod is designed by a kid, printed by our family, and made to inspire imagination in yours. 💕
