Did you know conversation hearts date back to 1847, when a Boston pharmacist named Oliver Chase invented a machine that would make it easier to produce lozenges? 👨‍⚕️💙💛❤️
Here's our take on them, painted and lasered maple wood as a pin or magnet! 🥰

We think we can all agree 2020 was a challenging and eye-opening year for everyone.❤️ But with it came 2 learnings for us:
• • •
1) Family is so important: We've lost some loved ones in 2020, and not being able to see family in person really makes you appreciate those family gatherings or a simple hug we once took for granted. 2020 was also the year we welcomed a new family member - Felix, our pandemic baby 👶❤️
• • •
2) Our Community is a part of our family: For a small business like us, we are in awe of how our community has come together to support small businesses in these tough times. We are so grateful for all the support we've received 🙏
• • •
The world has changed a lot this year, it will definitely be a year for the history books. We're ready to say goodbye to 2020, and wishing everyone a healthy new year and looking forward to 2021 🎉🤗

Summer Camps in Toronto have looked very different

Summer Camps in Toronto have looked very different this year, if they're running at all - at The Maker Bean, we're thrilled to have completed our first week of in-person camps, with many precautions & policies in place for safety, and we think the social interaction, learning and fun was a huge boost to our campers' spirits! 🛠️💻🤗🌄

➡️ One of our camper's parents wrote an insightful article in Today's Parent about her difficult decision to send her daughter to Maker Bean camp, and the positive benefit of it for both of them. Read it in our bio!
