Don't buy a toy.
Build a world.

Plastic toys are finished. Cardboard is a beginning.
We provide the raw materials for agency, creativity, and connection.

The Karton Philosophy

The Psychology of "Unfinished" Things

Agency over Consumption

We don't build the world for them. We give them the pieces to build it themselves.

Friction is Connection

Screens are frictionless and isolating. Cardboard requires hands, tape, and teamwork.

Safe to Fail

You can't "ruin" cardboard. This psychological safety releases pure creativity.
