How the Toy Mop Became Our Surprise Best Seller (And What It Taught Us)

When we first designed the Toy Spray Mop, we thought it would be a cute add-on. Something niche. Fun, sure—but not necessarily a flagship product.

We were wrong. Very wrong.

It turns out, toddlers really want to clean. Parents want toys that do more than just make noise. And everyone’s kind of tired of buying junk.

From “Let’s Try This” to #1 Bestseller

Within weeks of launch, we started hearing the same things over and over:

  • “My kid is obsessed with this mop.”
  • “I had to buy a second one because they were fighting over it.”
  • “This is the only toy they use every day.”

It wasn’t just a product—it was solving a parenting problem: how to keep toddlers engaged, helpful, and moving without a screen.

Why It Works

The Toy Spray Mop isn’t magic (okay, maybe a little). It’s:

  • Functional: It actually sprays water
  • Durable: Wood + stainless steel = no flimsy plastic regrets
  • Montessori-aligned: Real tools for real life skills
  • Stylish: Because you don’t want neon in your living room

What It Taught Us

This toy reminded us of what kids really want: to do what you’re doing. To copy. To participate. To feel useful.

And it reminded us what parents really want: toys that pull their weight—entertain, teach, and don’t get dumped out and ignored after 10 minutes.

Where We’re Headed Next

Thanks to your feedback, the mop has become the cornerstone of our approach: fewer toys, better toys, real life play. We’re building out more products that align with this philosophy—and yes, some of them may surprise you.
