Years ago, our youngest fan's parents shared a video with us of her playing with Pop-Ups. This past year, Claire introduced her brother Ethan to our Double Poly-Mascots! Watch their joy in playing with this bird mascot.
Huge shoutout to Claire, Ethan, and their awesome parents for sharing the video with us.

A coworker introduced us to the captivating book "Reinventing the Wheel" by Jessica Helfland, which delves into the rich history of Wheel Charts, Volvelles, and Planispheres. Join us as we take a fun walk down memory lane.
Let's begin our adventure with the Kitchenette Wheel, a culinary treasure from 1932. This wheel contains 26 recipes designed to help cooks create meals using ingredients already at hand. The quaint artwork adorning the wheel chart takes us back to a bygone era, evoking feelings of nostalgia and warmth.
Step into the world of country music in the late 1960s with the Country Music Staroscope Wheel. This creation provided fans with a comprehensive listing of beloved country music celebrities, complete with intriguing facts and fan mail addresses.

Rand McNally started in Chicago as a small print shop. Eventually, it grew into the prestigious mapping company we know today. In the 1980s, the company created a spiral-bound, multiple-wheel chart called The Dist-O-Map, Automatic Mileage Dialer. By spinning the wheels with the corresponding maps inside, you were able to determine the mileage between cities. The back of the Dist-O-Map gave information about the new U.S Road Markers of that time.

In the '40-'50s, stores advertised their prices using wheel charts. This Butternut wheel chart was a clever way to keep customers informed of the daily price of bread, which could fluctuate depending on factors such as the cost of wheat, transportation, and other expenses.
In the pre-digital age, advertisements like this helped consumers make decisions during weekly grocery shopping.

Kellogg's in 1931 created a Wheel of Knowledge Chart that was used as a promotional piece. The user would choose their state. They then read the population, capital, principal river, and other information on that particular state. On the opposite side was promotional copy featuring the benefits of a good breakfast featuring Kellogg's cereal.
We wish we could send in two box tops and get a newer wheel.

We were approached by two ad agencies to create Pop-Up Mascots for Palmer Trinity School and Columbia College. The schools wanted a Owl and a Bear.
We brought these adorable Mascots to life. They provided a “WOW’ factor when they were sent out with recruitment and welcome packages to potential and current students.
The Mascots mail flat then “POP” into shape when pulled from their envelopes.
We are now offering special pricing and limited runs of our Double Polyhedrons as customizable Mascots. Get ready to customize your favorite Mascot today!
Watch our Pop-Up Mascots in action!
