Hello there!

If you have explored our About Us page or read our blog, you know that the wooden Fellows and I are all about raising curiosity and celebrating the magical world of early childhood. We are also committed to awakening the inner child within each of us.

Here, we are giving you a peek behind the curtains and showing you how we bring all of this to life. 

The Wooden Fellows: Bringing Early Childhood to Life

The puppets may be made of wood, but they are brimming with character. Maurice, Petite Clothilde, Mme Rigolotte, and Pierre-Qui-Roule were inspired by Rosie’s imaginary world, and created to help everyone connect with the magic of early years.

Even though we like to pretend that those Wooden Fellows join us on their own, they, technically, came to life in our workshop, in the basement of our home here in North Carolina. It is our happy place, a cozy, creative space filled with wood and woodworking tools. I, the Human Being of the team, is so so grateful to have met the path of Puppets in Prague during the pandemic, and the World of Puppets later on. My puppetry skills (still emergent!) would not be what they are without them.  Each puppet comes with its own personality and charm, and somehow, held each a facet of their Human Friend’s personality : ) They often travel from places to place, like Chicago, IL and Paris, FR to inspire us through pictures of their adventures. Yes, we do get curious stares along the way : )

The Blog: Elevating Everyone’s Curiosity towards Young Children

Writing this blog, and writing in general, is one of our favorite activities, with posts diving into the heart of early childhood.

Sometimes we write in our kitchen, sometimes in our attic, the library, or coffee shops. We use Procreate and Canvas to bring our ideas to life, whether designing an illustration for a blog post or creating new resources. Every creative decision is made with a little bit of puppetry magic. We sometimes use AI as a tool to make sure everything sounds as polished as possible, but all our content is deeply personal and thoughtfully crafted. I (the Human Being) truly hope you can feel the love and intention behind each post, and my voice throughout. In addition, all of our pictures and videos are “real”, and were taken either with a phone, a digital camera, or a GoPro (with people staring at us, as mentioned previously : ). It is of utmost importance to echo the importance of using AI thoughtfully, responsibly, and ethically.

Other platforms: Reaching Out to as People as We Can

In addition to the blog, we love sharing our creative process and the magic of early childhood through other platforms. Whether you are a regular follower or a first-timer, here’s where you can find us:

Our Shop: Everything in our shop is designed right here in North Carolina. We have crafted these items to help share the spirit of early childhood with you in a fun, tangible way.

Instagram: We echo our blog content on Instagram, sharing photos of us (the puppets, of course) in action. Sometimes, the pictures do not always go as planned, and we share those behind-the-scenes moments as well. It is a great place to connect, share ideas, and find inspiration in the little things. Follow along to join the fun!

Other Social Media: We started posting videos on YouTube in the Fall of 2025, with a series on Slowing Down. We also share and echo our blog posts on Facebook and Pinterest. These are additional ways to stay connected with us and join in the conversation about the importance of early childhood.

Your Support and Feedback

We would not be here without you, our amazing readers, followers, and supporters. Your kind messages, feedback, and stories about your own experiences with young children keep us going week after week. We are constantly learning and growing, and we are grateful to have you along for the ride.

So, thank you for being a part of this adventure. We hope you continue to find inspiration, joy, and curiosity through our posts, puppets, and all the content we share. We are excited to continue exploring the wonderful world of early childhood with you, whether you are with us here or elsewhere!

Until next time,
Frédérique, the human being, and the wooden Fellow
