We create replicas of medical devices for stuffed animals so kids can have a toy that mirrors their experience. Each toy is designed in collaboration with the family to create a companion as unique as each child.
Thanks to our sponsors, Dittos are provided at no cost to the family.
Kiddo Ditto
Creating toy companions for kiddos with medical challenges
OUR MISSION
At Kiddo Ditto, our mission is to provide children with toys that are more than just playthings - they're a way to connect with their experiences and feel understood. Our team of designers and medical professionals work together to create custom toys that accurately replicate medical devices and conditions, while also being safe and fun for kids to play with.
Our process starts with getting to know each child and their unique situation. Then, we design a toy that is tailored to their needs and preferences. We use high-quality materials and work closely with medical professionals to ensure that each toy is accurate and safe.
OUR PROCESS
1
Using the Parent Interest Form, tell us about the medical devices your child uses and some of their favorite things, as well as likes and dislikes by answering questions in the Parent Interest Form. We may not be able to replicate everything, but let us know so we can try!
2
Send us some pictures so we can make everything look as close to what your child uses. We never use your photos for anything except to design the replicas. We’ll never post them anywhere.
3
WIth your child, you pick out a stuffy from A Dolly's World which ships us the stuffed animal unstuffed so we can sew on the customizations. Or choose a your child's favorite stuffed animal from another retailer and let us know how to find it.
4
We get to work creating replicas of your child's devices. We strive to strike a balance between making the replicas look realistic but still feel like a toy.
5
When we have a good model, we’ll schedule a Zoom call to show you what it looks like so far and make suggestions about fine tuning your child’s Ditto before we finalize it.
6
Lastly, we put on the finishing touches and send it off to you. The entire process will take about 3 months
