Step 1
The Idea
First, we kick things off by brainstorming and sketching a bunch of cute design ideas for the Mushies. We’re all about cute animals, so we pretty much knew right away how we wanted them to look! After that, we bring our sketches to life using 3D software, turning our drawings into 3D models. Then, we make molds and prototype samples with a 3D printer (Christian’s obsessed with his 3D printer!). The whole process is super creative and a ton of fun!
Step 2
Development
Once we’re totally happy with the prototype samples, we start working on the packaging designs and all the other fun details that make up the cute little package you’ll get. After that, we send the 3D files over to our manufacturer in Ningbo, China, so they can start making samples. Honestly, they’re the best at hand-making this type of squishy toy, and they are a big part of the Mushykinz family!
Step 3
Shipping Mushies to YOU!
We get so hyped when the shipment of Mushies arrives at our warehouse. We even throw a little welcome party for them (no joke). Then we pack them up safely and ship them out, so they can find their forever home with you!
