About Us
Recognizing the therapeutic, behavioral, and educational benefits of art, Tofuboo Studio is dedicated to bridging the gap in art accessibility, ensuring every child has the opportunity to explore and create, fostering a brighter future through the beauty of art.
Growing up in the vibrant, multicultural community of Honolulu, Hawaii, I was surrounded by diverse cultural influences that shaped my creativity. In Hawaii, where cultural fusion is a way of life, art can not only nuture creativity but also fosters cultural appreciation and understanding among children.
By incorporating cultural elements into our products and art sets, we share aspects of various Asian cultures with a wider audience, providing children the opportunity to explore and understand Hawaii's diverse cultural makeup. We aim to inspire children to embark on an artistic journey that fosters a deep connection to their community.
Impact
20% of our profit will be dedicated towards creating these art sets, consisting of various art supplies and handmade coloring books. Most recently, we have donated $150 worth of coloring books and art supplies to two Title 1 schools and $200 worth of art supplies to the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children! As of early last year, we were able to donate 150 coloring books to elementary school students and pages to the Hawaii Children’s Discovery Center.
UN SDG#4 QUALITY EDUCATION
The arts is an essential aspect of education, especially to the younger generations. Art is a great way for young kids to develop a creative/innovative mindset, problem solving techniques, social skills and more! These skills are crucial to our rapidly evolving society.
Also, a great way to learn about different cultures is through art. Therefore, our aim is to spread awareness of asian cultural foods through our stickers.
