Our founder - Joan Colvin

As a preschool parent and mom, Joan was searching for products to support her mission to make sure every child knows they are loved, are special, and will grow to be valuable human beings.  She could not find any products, so she created them.  Character Building Buddies launched at Legoland an was a finalist on ABC's American Inventor.
