GlueStick’s Founding Story: A mother’s struggle to keep her family engaged

The GlueStick founding family posing outdoors in front of rocky mountains. The father is holding a young girl, and the woman, founder Abby Allen, is standing beside them. They are smiling and appear happy.

In 2023, I told my husband and daughter to, “Go make something.” When I came back, both were in front of a screen and nothing creative had been done. When I asked my husband why, he said he didn’t know what to make, what supplies we had, or where they were stored. He was intimidated by the prospect of figuring out what to do with a preschooler and unsure how to keep her engaged.

I built GlueStick to inspire my daughter’s creativity and independence. I hope it helps your family, too.
