Spoonflower Small Business Grant Recipient

Thank you so much to Spoonflower for nominating me and my small business, whirlykidde, as one of the recipients of the Fall 2021 Spoonflower Small Business Grant!

Without Spoonflower I would not be able to illustrate my own designs and upload them to create and sew my children’s product line. This is how I am able to maintain a sustainable product and business practices. You can read more below on the Spoonflower blog. Please check out the other grant recipients as well and give them and their small businesses a follow to support them and their journey!

Earnshaw’s Buyer Box by Earnshaw’s Children’s Magazine

We partnered with Earnshaw’s Magazine for their Buyer Box.

Every few months, Earnshaw’s team ships a beautifully curated parcel to buyers nationwide. Each delivery is sure to inspire, packed with samples, product descriptions, promo codes and contact info.

whirlykidde sent in samples of adorable baby plush toys. These are 100% organic, handmade, sensory driven toys to engage baby. Each set of three baby plush toys comes with an e-book download so you can have story time with baby while they play.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we hope you'll try something new from our line!
