Our Story
Always Play...Always Learn
The most impactful businesses start with seeing a problem that needs a solution. Our founder was facing the challenge of a child who was experiencing early learning difficulties, especially when it came to understanding the alphabet and pairing words together. So as necessity is the mother of all invention, Alphapals® was created.
Her experience with various therapeutic learning solutions with her son, and combined background in production, design and engineering gave her the simple, but overlooked insight that words can't begin without an emphasis on letters. Letters make words, words create communication, and communication brings us all closer together.
She hand-crafted letters of various sizes, textures, weights, and colors and began teaching her son after long days at schools and development centers. Her child’s positive response and growth in learning colors, letter recognition and word pairing encouraged and inspired her further. She wants to share this with other families.
Alphapals is a fun and interactive learning experience with a hands-on approach helping families experience the fun side of learning. Pairing our sets with interactive games, stories, and resources supports a fresh and impactful educational process. Then, after all the fun is had, transform your set of 26 plush letters into a comfy chair by simply packing up the letters into the structured, yet soft bag. Alphapals is dedicated to creating a positive impact through imagination, education, kindness, and patience. With everything we do, we are on a mission to help all children learn and play.
The founder also supports elementary schools through contributions and donations to help the critical funding of additional staff and staffed programs including Marine Science Labs, STEM, visual arts, and social and wellness programs.
