our story
THE BEGINNING
It all started in 2019, when Haley Nall began crafting her charming lil buddies out of clay as a lighthearted pursuit, with the sole intention of bringing smiles to faces. What began as a simple, whimsical pastime would eventually blossom into something much more meaningful.
CREATING A TOOL
With their quirky designs, the lil buddies were crafted with one goal in mind: to spread joy. But it wasn't long before Haley, along with her husband Hunter and their friends Chris and Haley, saw a deeper potential in these delightful creations.
It was during a casual coffee shop gathering that the idea for Lil Buddies Co. was conceived. Inspired by the belief that these lil buddies could serve as more than just sources of amusement, they envisioned them as tools for teaching children about their emotions.
THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED
Recognizing the importance of safety and inclusivity, the team was committed to using child-safe materials. They also wanted the colors of their lil buddies to be not only enjoyable for kids but also appealing to parents.
At Lil Buddies Co., we're dedicated to not only spreading smiles but also fostering emotional intelligence in children. Each lil buddy is thoughtfully crafted with these principles in mind, ensuring that they serve as both companions and educational
resources.
