Curated arts, crafts & play for littles
I am a pastel artist and graphic designer with loads of time to do so many cool art things, it's great! Okay, who are we kidding, I'm a mom now with barely any free time, let alone time to use the bathroom in peace. From work, to laundry, to cooking, and making sure my son stays on this planet, I do it all.
Early on I spent a lot of time looking for inspiration of activities to engage my son (and help me pass time) Being an artist I like things to be aesthetically pleasing. I believe kids should use real materials and tools. So when creating activities for my son I specifically picked pieces that were my style (since I have to stare at them constantly) and were quality items. I made him a rice sensory bin and was asked by a family member to make one for their daughter. Then another one. This is how Bird Builds was born. Going from full blown artsy fartsy to full time mom part of my creative soul got lost along the way. I can no longer sit for hours every day working on a pastel piece, but the brainstorming, creating and curating of products here helps me scratch that creative itch.
If you've made it here thanks for sticking with me. It's my hope that my products will genuinely help support those raising and nurturing little ones in the best way I know how - arts, crafts and play!
