The Story Behind MadeByKidz
MadeByKidz began with three brothers, big imaginations, and a shared love of bringing ideas to life. This is the story of how their creativity grew into a family-built business—one dedicated to creating remarkable worlds, meaningful products, and adventures that inspire others to imagine what is possible.
CHAPTER ONE
THE STORY BEHIND THE ADVENTURE
It All Started With One Question.
Like so many families, every trip to the store ended the same way…
“Dad, can I have a toy?”
One day, instead of saying yes, my dad asked me a different question…
“What if you earned the money to buy it yourself?”
CHAPTER TWO
More Than Toys.
At first, I thought my dad just didn’t want to keep buying me toys. I didn’t really understand why he kept telling me I should earn my own money. I just knew I wanted another toy.
Then something started changing. We bought our first 3D printer. We made our first creations. We met our first customers.
And little by little…
I started realizing my dad wasn’t really teaching my brothers and me how to sell toys. He was teaching us how to create something of our own.
He was teaching us:
Responsibility. Creativity. Hard work. Confidence. And that maybe… our ideas were worth something.
Looking back... I think the coolest thing we made wasn't even one of our toys. It was the confidence that came from building something ourselves.
What I learned
I used to think my dad just didn’t want to buy me another toy. Now I think he wanted to show me something even cooler. Making something yourself feels different than buying it. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.

We weren't trying to start a company.
We were learning about life
CHAPTER THREE
The First Market
I still remember our first market.
My dad loaded up the car with our printer, our dragons, and a folding table.
I thought the hard part was making the toys.
I was wrong.
The hard part was waiting for the very first person to stop.
I kept wondering…
“What if nobody likes what we made?”
Then someone stopped.
They picked up one of our dragons.
They smiled.
And then…
They bought it.
I don’t remember what we earned that day.
I remember how proud I felt.
What I Learned
I learned that something you make with your own hands can make someone else smile. That felt pretty awesome.

CHAPTER FOUR
The quest to find family
It all started when one of our glow-in-the-dark triceratops was feeling lonely...
Until one moment when everything changed, when we turned the corner and...
We introduced our triceratops to many new creatures that roamed the earth, hoping to find his family...
So...we decided to take him on a journey to find his family.
We searched and searched but were not able to find anyone who looked like him... We even got into a dangerous situation.
We had finally found his family and started singing..."We are Family!"

CHAPTER FIVE
Growing Beyond One Table
When we first started going to markets, everything fit on one little table. At the time, I thought it looked huge. We had dragons. Dinosaurs. Animals.
And lots of other things we had spent hours printing together.
Every time we went to another market, we brought a little bit more. Then a little bit more after that.
Before long…
One table wasn’t enough anymore. So Dad brought another one.
Then another.
Pretty soon, our little booth had turned into three full table…and somehow we still didn’t have enough room.
I think that’s when I realized something. We weren’t just making toys anymore.
We were building something people were excited to come see.
What I Learned
I used to think growing meant getting bigger. Now I think growing means never stopping. Every market taught us something new. Every customer gave us another idea. And every time we packed everything back into the car… I couldn’t wait for the next one.

CHAPTER SIX
From Dragons to Starships
I still remember thinking our dragons were huge.I couldn’t imagine making anything bigger.
Then one day…
Dad asked another question.
“I wonder what’s the biggest thing we could build?”
I smiled.
Because I already knew what the answer was going to be.
“Let’s find out.”
What I Learned
When something looks too big… You don’t build it all at once. You build it one piece at a time. That’s how our biggest projects always begin.

EPILOGUE
To Be Continued...
I don’t know where our next adventure will take us.
Maybe another museum.
Maybe another market.
Maybe something we’ve never even imagined yet.
But one thing I’ve learned is that every great adventure starts with one simple idea…
and the courage to see where it leads.
Now come along with us...our next adventure is just getting started!
