Maria_the founder

I’m Maria-Cristina, a mother of two and a toy creator for over 5 years.

I’m a parent, just like you — perfectly imperfect. Some days I’m relaxed, other days I care a little too much. I’m present, and sometimes I catch myself on my phone. Full of energy… and completely tired at the same time.

I want my children to understand themselves, to grow confident, resourceful, and emotionally aware.

For over 5 years, I’ve been creating children’s products rooted in real-life parenting.

When I moved to Switzerland, I had to slow down and be more present for my children.
That’s when the idea of makeadoo quietly grew.

I brought together my experience as a toy developer, a teacher, and a mother to create simple ways for parents and children to connect.

Makeadoo isn’t about perfect results.
It’s about small, meaningful moments together.

Simple to start. Open enough to follow your child’s lead.

If it feels like something you’ve been missing, you’ll recognize it.
