The Inspiration: Leo, seeing the need for affordable educational toys, created stuffed letters, animals and numbers to help children learn.  The proceeds subsidize the rates of her daycare she is opening, allowing her to provide a reliable, affordable childcare service for working parents.

The Product: Handmade with love out of African prints, these are great for precocious toddlers AND decorating children’s rooms.  Available in giraffes, dinosaurs, numbers and letter shapes.
