Clyde, a bright and imaginative little boy, carried a beloved hippo plush everywhere he went. Clyde's love for his hippo and his fascination with simple, timeless wooden toys sparked an idea.

Our founder Jacob, a skilled carpenter and Cylde’s “Uncle Jake” started to dream about creating a line of toys that combined the charm of Clyde’s plush hippo with the enduring quality of wooden craftsmanship. Po the Hippo became the centerpiece of this vision—a lovable character that embodies creativity, nostalgia, and the magic of childhood.

Today, Po represents more than a toy; it’s a tribute to children’s imagination and the joy of play, crafted with care in West Chester, PA, for kids and families everywhere.
