From My Sewing Machine to Your Carry-on
Designed by a Mom, Refined by the Journey
"I founded So Handmade in my New York studio to solve a personal challenge: finding toys that were as portable as they were purposeful. Tired of bulky plastic and constant screen-time, I began sewing screen-free solutions that fit into a carry-on and keep little hands busy during the longest flights. Today, every piece is still rooted in eco-friendly design and a commitment to helping families travel lighter and happier."

Montessori Principles, Made Portable
At So Handmade, we bridge the gap between developmental philosophy and the chaos of travel. Montessori education is rooted in purposeful, child-led activity, and our toys bring that same intentionality to your journey. By focusing on open-ended, screen-free play, we provide toddlers with the tools to master fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination—even in a middle seat..
Why Montessori for Travel?
Traditional travel toys often rely on loud noises and flashing lights to distract. Our thoughtfully designed textiles encourage deep concentration and independence. Instead of passive consumption, your child engages in meaningful problem-solving that grows with them from their first flight to their first road trip.
Adventure-Ready & Mess-Free
We believe that learning shouldn't stop at the boarding gate. Our toys are meticulously sized for tray tables and car seats, offering a self-contained "learning station" that fits in your pocket. Designed to be quiet, tactile, and completely mess-free, they are the favorite choice for families who value both their child’s development and their own peace of mind on the go.
Designed for the Realities of Traveling with Toddlers
At So Handmade, we don't just make toys; we craft travel solutions for the most demanding environments. Our compact play mats and airplane toys are specifically engineered to fold flat into a carry-on or diaper bag, ensuring that "boredom" never takes up extra space. Whether you’re navigating a long-haul flight or a cross-country road trip, these are the quiet, mess-free essentials that turn a cramped tray table into a world of imagination.
Purposeful Play, Anywhere
From fine motor skill development to sensory exploration, every stitch is designed to keep small hands busy and young minds engaged—100% screen-free.We focus on open-ended play that encourages hand-eye coordination, providing hours of entertainment that won’t lose its pieces under an airplane seat or car chair.
Artisan Quality for Every Journey
Every item in our collection is hand-finished in our New York studio with a focus on durability and tactile beauty. By choosing So Handmade, you aren’t just buying a toy; you’re investing in a travel-ready heirloom that makes the journey as joyful for the caregiver as it is for the child.
