what’s in a name?!

TO BE / TO DO / DO-BE-DO-BE-DOO Toobydoo is all about the active kid and the fun of play. It’s about the philosopher’s Plato and Sartre’s famous quote ‘to be, is to do’. We also believe in carefree, easy-going kids, as when Frank Sinatra was singing dobe-do-be- doo, as a reminder ‘to be’. Remember that kids are always asked what they want ‘to be’ when they grow up, and not what they want ‘to do’. Yet when we grow up, we seem to be much more focused on the doing than on the being. Introducing ‘Tooby’ Tooby is the name of the figure in our logo. Tooby is a kids best friend, he wants to hug you and take you on an adventure! Among other things Tooby can be a rattle, a plush toy to hug or a plastic toy you can paint.

store concepts! Shop-in-shop We currently provide our stores in store displays upon request. We are in the process of developing multiple shop-in-shop concepts. These concepts have both a modern design aesthetic and are playful. We believe our store designs should both have an appeal to parents and their kids. The Tooby™ figure (in our logo) plays a central role in communicating a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere.
