About Us
Our Story
Soothing Littles was created as a family brand in the Spring of 2023, a few months after the birth of our son. As he started teething, we searched for products to ease his pain and make the process more bearable. This led us to designing our own teether that not only provided comfort, offered different textures to soothe gums, and was easy for little hands to hold, but represented our love for the ocean and its creatures. From there, we wondered what else would sooth littles and began to pull together ideas. From toys and teethers to age-appropriate programming and a family vlog, we offer a variety of products to help sooth your little and share tips and activities to enhance the development of your little.
Our Mission
At Soothing Littles, our mission is to inspire creativity and curiosity in children through our toys. We believe that every child has the potential to learn and grow, and we strive to create products that encourage this growth.
