We design, set up and supply handcraft workshops for resorts, hotels, events and schools – and make every DIY kit by hand in Hanoi. Children make something real. Your venue gains an experience guests remember. Artisans gain paid work.
We do not sell entertainment. Each programme is planned against four goals, measured every season and reported back to you.
For childern
Every child learns one real technique and leaves with something they made.
For your venue
A signature family activity rooted in local culture – and a new line of revenue.
For artisans
Every kit is cut, counted and finished by our artisans and inclusive workshop team.
For the planet
Natural materials only, with offcuts from our textile production turned into kit parts.
Families choose resorts for what their children will remember. A handcraft programme built on the culture of your destination gives them that – every day of the season, run by your own trained team.
A rotating programme of sessions, refreshed each season
Take-home kits for your boutique — revenue beyond the session
Kits themed to your destination and branded with your resort
A story for your marketing: local craft, real artisans, no plastic
Weekend family sessions and holiday programmes.
A children’s zone families remember – see the event packs.

Most venues start with the full model; some already have a team and only need kits. Each package stands on its own and fits with the others.
2-3 weeks
We design the workshop as a working business for your venue: which sessions, how often, for which ages, at what price, in which space.
2-4 weeks
We design what guests see and touch: the studio corner, themes from your destination, and kits and packaging in your brand.
Monthly or per season
We make it run. In Vietnam our facilitators can run sessions for you; anywhere, we train your team and keep the programme fresh.
From 50 kits
We make every DIY kit by hand – workshop kits for sessions and retail kits for your shop – and ship refills on a schedule.
An illustration of how the full model works for a typical family resort. Every figure is an assumption for discussion – your own model is built on your occupancy, pricing and costs.

For a single event rather than a year-round programme: we ship the plan and the kits, your team runs the day. In Vietnam, we run it in person.
For schools, libraries, retail
Child craft kits and instruction cards, with a short facilitator guide. Ideal if you already run children’s activities and need the materials.
From 50 kits
Most chosen · corporate events
Everything to run a full creative playground: kits, station boxes, the event playbook, floor plan, safety protocol and signage files.
From 50 children
From 100 children
A custom theme designed for your brand or occasion, co-branded kits and signage, video training for your team, and the option of a Tomato facilitator on site.
From 100 children
Children’s kits crossing borders must meet the toy-safety rules of the country they arrive in. We are honest about where each kit stands.
EN71 (EU), UKCA (UK), ASTM F963 / CPSIA (US) testing per kit. (Status per kit TBC)- we ship only what has passed for your market
Every kit labelled with its age range and warnings; no small parts in kits for under-threes.
Wood, cotton and natural fibre; blunt wooden needles; no dye baths or chemicals in export kits.
Your facilitators run the event. Our protocol sets adult-to-child ratios and check-in rules, and our training call walks them through every station.
Handmade varies. That is the point – but it cannot vary past what a buyer can sell. Our controls exist so the irregularity stays charming instead of becoming a claim.
