The Brand
HAPPY LITTLE DOERS
“HI, I’M KATE, A MUM OF TWO TO BILLY AND LARA
My background was working in Advertising and Marketing in London, for the big corporations – which I loved, and learnt a lot! I’ve since relocated to a more rural life on the border of West Sussex and Surrey. I’ve always known that I wanted to start my own business when I had a family.
Some things really stick with you… and I remember once being described by my boss at the time as a “doer” and that I was one to approach to “get the job done”. I’ve never been one to sit still and I discover every day I’m not the only one; I see through my children that little ones are born eager to learn by doing which is what has led to Happy Little Doers being born.
My ‘light bulb’ moment happened when life as we knew it went back to basics; no soft play, no parks and no seeing friends and family to occupy our time. Billy and I would often sit together (whilst Lara was napping) and practice counting. I would write down the numbers and dots on a separate piece of paper for him to match up. However, he always wanted to count higher than 10, and play with more numbers. The scraps of paper I had written on soon became bent and torn.
We noticed there wasn’t anything similar on the market that went higher than 10 or 20, whilst also being really simple. That’s when we decided to launch ‘Learn by Doing… Numbers’.
We’ve designed these simplistic black and white flashcards so that numbers can be explored, played with, without distraction.
We love to make products to help with a busy family lifestyle, and our motto is ‘Keep It Simple’. We don’t like to overcomplicate ideas or designs, but we love our products to be exceptionally well designed, clean, and unfussy with a real purpose and with longevity in mind.
