Media Background
Deborah Brooks and Sperry Bilyea. Two friends who want to help Canadian moms and dads engage more with their young kids. My Puffin was born during the pandemic with a mission to provide the perfect product for kids to expand their imagination in active play. Active play increases physical activity and imagination while decreasing screen time and stopping boredom. We believe we have achieved this with My Puffin’s first product and we want you (or your kids) to try it for yourself!

About My Puffin Inc.
My Puffin provides the perfect place for your child to expand their imagination in active play. My Puffin is Canada's favourite kids' couch. We believe active and imaginative play builds healthy kids. My Puffin provides the foundation for fun and imaginative play. This couch turns into a rocket ship, a castle, an obstacle course, or a boat--the only limitation is your child’s imagination.
My Puffin provides the space for cuddling, reading a book or just hanging out. My Puffin will grow with your child.
My Puffin ships with 4 pieces: a supportive base called the anchor, a soft top called the lander, and 2 triangle cushions called the stander. It is designed to be pulled apart and put back together every day. Let your child’s imagination expand.
