OUR STORY

The inspiration behind Chalk and Chuckles wasn't an excessive focus on screens or a search for activities that would keep kids constructively engaged. We were in the midst of reflecting on our personal journey in life. Looking for an apt metaphor to describe it, Pallavi chose "Life is a game," adding, "You've got to play the cards you're dealt with." We spoke about all the enabling factors and skills in our life at rock bottom! The 4 that stood out were Grit, Vision, Flexibility & Love. This led us to combine the 3 most important things that had shaped us as people, (our family, our education, and our play experiences) into Chalk and Chuckles.

Looking outwards at society, the struggles parents were echoing, and the experiences children were living, further clarified our values. We knew fostering self-awareness, creative thinking, resilience, flexibility, and meaningful communication was the way forward, and we began to infuse them into the products we developed.

Since its inception in 2013, we have made products that reflect our commitment to family, community, cooperation, respect, and the power of honest communication. Chalk and Chuckles is founded by 2 sisters Pallavi and Prachi who both switched their careers to devote themselves to their passionate endeavour!

We are Chalk and Chuckles! For us WORK = PLAY.

No matter what we do we breathe fun and bring on the play! We've even got a formula to transform the most dreary into fun! We bring our playfulness into the products we design so that kids have fun without knowing they're actually learning and building really big skills!

Just like fun, creativity is in our DNA! We know how to get and hold your child's attention and imagination. There can be no 'chalk' without 'chuckles' and so we are Chalk and Chuckles! We take some serious concepts and blend them with a mix of fun and creativity to help your child learn about the world around them. From our game concepts to the illustrations to the packaging, we think creatively to make learning fun. A Chalk and Chuckles product is immediately recognizable because of the depth of our thinking and design.

We are hard-wired to connect. Through connections, humans thrive and get their emotional needs met. When a child feels seen, heard, validated and respected, their desire to engage and willingness to take on risk during the learning process increases dramatically.

We pride ourselves in making toys that help families unplug and connect playfully with each other, while building character, values and key learning skills.

We strongly believe that the best toy you can give your Child is YOU! Toys & games are just the tools!

Play is not frivolous. It enhances brain structure and function.

We strongly believe that all children deserve to live in a world where success is defined as fulfillment, passions, and purpose; Not simply scores on a test, or admission to a particular college, or the zeros on a paycheck.

Chalk and Chuckles creative and fun games provide playful experiences that fosters independence & resilience in children. Our products encourage children to discover their voice, passions and purpose and set the foundation for creative problem solving, literacy, social navigation, cooperation, respect, and an appreciation of the planet we all share.

We’re EXPERTS in our fields and all our games are designed with education and healthy child development in mind.

Our product development team is headed by, Prachi - the feeler, the dreamer & our very own quiet creator! A Harvard Alum & an Educational Psychologist, she brings her decade of experience in working with families, classrooms, and schools to the team.

We also collaborate with teachers, artists, and other Early Childhood Education experts, in various distinct fields to ensure that each of our games meets the seal of Innovation in Childhood Education.

We care about the world we live in and the world we'll leave behind for the next generation. We make our products from recycled board & print with non-toxic Soy inks and try to use only FSC®-certified paper. We use minimal plastic in our packaging.

Your child's safety is of utmost importance to us. All our products meet the BIS, EN71, ASTM, CPSIA & CE Safety Regulations.
