Our philosophy

Jesse and Kon, founders of Applesmasher

Most children's drawings end up curled at the corners and in the recycling bin. We think the opposite: a drawing is a child's first real act of authorship, and when the scribble becomes something they can hold, they learn that their ideas have weight in the world. Applesmasher accepts any drawing, because the threshold for "your work is real" should be lower, not higher.

10% for the planet

Hands holding the earth

Every Applesmasher is printed in PLA, a plant-based plastic. But we want to go further. 10% of every purchase goes to the 5 Gyres Institute, a nonprofit researching plastic pollution science and biodegradable alternatives. They run peer-reviewed studies on how bioplastics actually break down in real environments — oceans, soil, landfills — so the next generation of materials is better than the last.
