BORN FROM A MOTHER’S LOVE.
NURTURED BY THE SCIENCE OF PLAYTIME.

Meet Dr. Meeta Sharma Gupta, a parent just like you, who faced a common struggle back in 2012 when she returned to India from the USA. Meeta, an alumnus of IIT Delhi, and a PhD from Harvard University,  couldn't find the kind of toys she wanted for her little one amidst all the plastic and electronic gadgets flooding the market. Frustrated but determined, she decided to make a change. In 2014, she founded Shumee Toys, a design first, scientifically advanced company dedicated to bringing back the joy of simple, durable playthings.

At Shumee, we firmly believe in the power of play, where it's ‘90 percent child and 10 percent toy.’ That's why we focus on creating safe, long-lasting toys that spark imagination and creativity. When you choose Shumee for your child, you're not just buying a toy – you're investing in their growth and learning through play. Join us in embracing the science of playtime for our little ones.

RESEARCH, DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY - EXPERIENCE THE SCIENCE OF SHUMEE

At Shumee, play is a science. Our toys are born from extensive research and design, inspired by respected organizations like NAEYC and the Reggio Emilia philosophy.

By observing children's natural play habits, we create products that are not only fun but also address specific needs. The Shumee team ensures that all our toys are safe, durable, and eco-friendly. We're committed to continuous improvement, making toys that are better for your child and the planet. Join us in shaping a brighter future through the power of play.
