What makes Doodle Dents so special? For you, it might be: - the look of pride on your child's face when they have completed their Doodle Dents? - the quality time you spend together whilst doing Doodle Dents? - the extra 40 minutes peace and quiet when your child is concentrating on doing their Doodle Dents? - or maybe, your own mindful experience doing a Doodle Dents yourself ??? Of course, all of those are excellent reasons, but for us it is the genuine passion and process behind the scenes that makes Doodle Dents so special. Let me explain. The genuine passion comes from discovering something that hadn't been done before and seeing how much joy it can bring to so many lives. The idea was inspired by my daughter, Violet, and it's important to me that our children are still involved with Doodle Dents every step of the way. I recently had the pleasure of showing them around the factory when the recent production run was in full swing. A proud moment for us all - to see what we have created, as well as a n education for them. They had so many questions, were super excited and somewhat amazed to see how it all came together; their inspired concepts and designs being manufactured and produced en masse. We saw big machines, small plates, varying paper stocks, production, cutting, trimming & collation techniques, the important finishing touches and millions of 'dents' - each stage equally as important to ensure each and every Doodle Dents product is just right. A big thank you to Mark, who hosted us, keeping us warm, watered and fed during a cold winter morning ( and sorry the kids ate all the biscuits)!
