our story, fr

Two parents, four kids, one printer that never sleeps.

Make-a-Roni is Devon and Damien — a husband-and-wife team in Pennsylvania. We design, print, and ship every piece ourselves, usually between school drop-offs.

Devon

Mom to four littles. Devon dreams up the ideas — usually after watching our kids try to rig something with tape, string, and a Yoto card. Every product starts as a sketch on the back of a grocery list.

Damien

Engineer, partner, print-farm whisperer. Damien takes Devon's sketches and models them in CAD, then tunes each print until it passes peanut-butter-covered kid QA.

how it's made

From "what if…" to your doorstep.

1

Sketch

Usually mid-breakfast. Sometimes on a napkin. We talk it through with the kids first.

2

CAD

Damien models it, tweaks the fit, and picks the right wall thickness so it survives actual play.

3

Print & test

3D-printed in biodegradable PLA. Then the four-kid focus group gets after it.

4

Ship

Inspected, packed, and mailed from our garage. Usually a Tuesday.

the plastic question

Made from biodegradable plant-based plastic.

Every Make-a-Roni piece is 3D-printed in PLA — a biodegradable plastic made from cornstarch and sugarcane. It's stronger than it sounds and better for the planet than it has to be.

  • Durable: dialed-in wall thickness. These are toys, not shelf art.
  • Precise: carefully placed D-rings, magnets, and suction cups embedded during print.
  • Guaranteed: 30 days against defects — if something's off, we make it right.
