Where it started

Hello friend, come on in, its wonderful to see you here. I'm Matt. A children’s Illustrator from Nottingham, England and after 15 years as a designer for some of the worlds most loved brands, my life and career changed when I became a Dad.

You'll know that being a parent doesn't leave you with much time, and when our daughter was diagnosed with an extremely rare condition, I realised I didn't have time to do everything. And so I decided to do one thing well, make every moment wonderful.

The mission is to support children to find joy through art and play. What started as a way for our family to bring happiness to our home, is now a whole world of fun designed to help your family enjoy the simple things in life.

Prints Books & Joyful Goods - Made for Kids -

Simple joys for all children, a world of happiness.

The goal here is to help your children play. You know the simple kind of play that doesn’t need much but teaches them everything. All of my prints, toys, and books encourage an analogue childhood: foldable paper toys, hands-on activities, and gentle stories that spark curiosity and kindness. These everyday activities help your child build resilience, focus, and find joy in making.

So why not be their hero? Share those moments of joy together, playing, tinkering, and reading, it all shapes a child’s world and creative confidence, and that’s what matters.

Giving Back

Every Earthboy purchase does a little more good in the world. I’m giving 20% of everything I make to charity split equally between CASK Research Foundation and Footprints Nottingham. Two organisations providing research and vital support for children and families facing complex challenges.

Our own family journey has shown us how powerful the right support, research and community can be when life gets complicated. Not every family gets that. So each print you hang, every book you read, every paper toy you build, quietly helps extend that same care to families who need it most.

I’m extremely grateful for your support to help our family and others like it through these charities, thank you. I hope you find something that makes your world feel just a little more wonderful. 🌍
