Artterro

"helping busy people bring a creative, meaningful activity home to their families. "

Why We Love Them:
Arttero is not just about making great art kits for kids, it's about making them well. Forrest & Jenn founded Arttero
with a commitment to to using as few resources as possible and being accountable for the social and environmental impact their product has on the planet and community. They work hard at providing affordable products that encourage friends and family to connect with each other and to create beauty in our lives.

The Materials They Use:
100% post-consumer waste handmade paper from India and Thailand, 100% wool felt from Nepal, tissue papers from France,
Jewlery wire, copper wire, felt needles and marbles are made in the USA and the bits and pieces are sourced in the USA too.

Packaging inserts, bands that wrap around boxes and marketing materials are printed on recycled paper (most of it 100% PCW) using vegetable based inks and renewable energy. The plastic bag insert is not currently recyclable.

Where They Make Their Products:
Kits are assembled at and shipped from Goodwill Industries in Milwaukee, WI a non-profit organization providing opportunities and assistance for seniors and people with disabilities.

From The Manufacturer:
"We love art and wanted to share that experience with our kids. We searched high and low for eco-friendly, open-ended art projects with beautiful materials but they were nowhere to be found. Most kits on the market offer lots of glitzy packaging but disappoint after opening the box. You’re left with a handful of cheap materials and a cookie-cutter project that ends up in the trash a week later.

Kids appreciate quality art materials! Beautiful supplies inspire them to create amazing things, just like they do for adults. Children easily immerse themselves in the process, often unattached to the final product, and their enthusiasm is contagious! Works of art composed with Artterro's high-quality materials become treasures artists young and old proudly display.

We want to make it easier for people to bring art into their lives. Artterro kits are for kids, families, seasoned artists and novices alike. We’ve done the sourcing and shopping, helping busy people bring a creative, meaningful activity home to their families. We have experience taking four and seven-year-olds along to art and craft stores, attempting to gather supplies for a family project, not an easy task!

So, out of love and inspiration, Artterro was born and being creative dreamers ourselves, we have lots of plans in the works for the future. Bringing these projects into our own lives has deepened our connection to our families and friends and we are excited to provide this experience to your families too.
