Our Story
Founder, Kirsten Chapman, with some very cute models, who also happen to be friends.
Inspired by My Kids
I was inspired by my kids, as many parents are, and motivated by my own enlightenment about toxins. When my youngest son became interested in playing with my keys, I searched for non-toxic toy keys, but I never found anything that satisfied him (or me).
And Thus, Kleynimals Was Born
In my own 'green evolution,' I found that I felt most comfortable with stainless steel for water bottles, sippy cups, food storage containers, and more. It made sense to me that metal toy keys — that my son was likely going to put into his mouth — should be non-toxic stainless steel.
Our Philosophy
At heart, I am truly an idealist. I do not run my company in the way that I probably should… looking at the bottom line. Instead, I truly follow my heart and my personal moral compass to bring the best quality, most trustworthy products to you and your families in a way that positively impacts our environment, the American economy, and individuals.
Giving Back
I hope that Kleynimals always make a positive impact on every life that they touch, and even those they don't. I am so proud to focus on social responsibility — starting with manufacturing in the USA, in addition to supporting three non-profit organizations through our sales.
