Our Story

At Picto Kits, we believe art should be accessible to everyone — no matter your age or skill level. What started as a passion project has blossomed into a journey of helping people discover the joy of creating something beautiful with their own hands.

Picto Kits aren’t mass-produced; each one is thoughtfully designed, carefully crafted, and lovingly assembled and shipped by my husband and me, right from our home.

    

Welcome, Picto Pals!!

We’re Alyssa and Nick, the duo behind Picto Kits, and we’re thrilled to help you unlock your inner creativity through fail-proof DIY art — designed for quality time, confidence-boosting, and of course, tons of fun!! Each kit offers a rich sensory and tactile experience, helping to promote fine motor skills and problem-solving as creators of all ages engage with the materials in new, hands-on ways.

Picto Kits is born from a passion for curiosity, creativity, and family.

Our journey started during the pandemic when we saw families looking for meaningful ways to spend time together. As a fashion designer and artist (Alyssa) and an engineer-turned-filmmaker-turned-entrepreneur (Nick), we both had built our own unique businesses—Nick with The Puttskee, a portable wooden putting game, and Alyssa with Regenerous Designs, creating wearable art from upcycled textiles. When 2020 brought those businesses to an end, we went through a hard reevaluation, leaned into trusting God's plan, changed everything, and focused on this new vision of creating art kits.

Combining our God-given gifts and experience, we wanted to create something special: eco-friendly, made from sustainable materials like cut wood and fabric scraps (sustainability is something we’re SUPER passionate about), and enjoyable for any age and skill level — whether you're a little artist just starting out or an adult looking for beautiful, display-worthy art.

At Picto Kits, we believe in the magic of playful learning and intentional quality time.

Each kit is designed not just to spark creativity but to fill your home with joy and inspiration. Every box comes packed with fun facts about the subject, an encouraging message to boost confidence, and a coloring sheet to encourage hands-on exploration. As kids create something beautiful, they’re also growing in self-assurance and creativity, knowing their art can be proudly displayed.

Perfect for creating a gallery wall, giving as thoughtful gifts, or decorating your favorite space, these projects are built to last and always a delight to look at!!

Our mission is to help you enjoy screen-free, family-centered time around the table, crafting something that feels as good to make as it does to admire.

Whether you’re hosting a cozy family craft night or throwing a Picto Party with your pals, we can’t wait to see what you create!! So grab a kit, gather your crew, and get ready to unleash your creativity in a way that’s outside the box — literally.

Happy creating, Picto Pals!!
