We are two mums (and grandmothers!) who have developed a fun range of creative products to reward children and engage with their learning and developing adventures. This range has been extended to children with additional needs acting as a tool to support them, to better understand them and to be understood.
We both have vast experience working with families and children, plus the experience of having our own lovely children and now grandchildren! The little aliens that form a big part our brand are based on our lovely grandchildren. We feel this is a wonderful way for us to include our own families as part of vision and journey.
The ethos of our products is set by our own values and inspiration. This is to inspire, praise, reward and join together the needs of children and families with the needs of charities that support children and families. All of our products will have a link to a charity that is in line with the purpose of the product.
Our vision for Thumbs Up World is to create unity and a positive attitude towards life! We want people to gain a sense of praise, optimism, achievement and improved learning. To help families create stronger relationships through learning together, day to day.
Our range is unique, affordable and most of all, fun! We create a sense of adventure in daily lives. Each of our products has been designed with children in mind, ensuring they are easy to use, supportive and encouraging.
We are working on a range for teens and adults, our “Big Kids” range. We are bursting with many exciting ideas, and cannot wait to see where our journey takes us.
We love hearing feel good stories, and encourage our clients to share their own adventures and positive learning stories with us. You never know who you might inspire. Everyone is welcome to be apart of this growing development, so please contact us for more information.
The feedback has been so encouraging, and we have formed an amazing team of skilled mums. Together we have great things to come, and we are so excited to be on this adventure.
