The Journey
Our Journey
At Malarkey Kids, our story began with a spark of innovation, and a whole lot of teething.
What started as a single product created to solve a common parenting challenge has grown into an award-winning brand, trusted by families in over 30 countries. As a Canadian, women-owned company, we’re proud to design safe, functional, and fun products that make real-life parenting just a little easier.
Here’s a look at how we got here:
2015 – The Original Munch Mitt®

Our story began at the New York Toy Fair with the debut of the Munch Mitt®, the world’s first wearable teething mitten. Made from food-grade silicone and designed for hands-free soothing, it quickly earned industry recognition and the attention of parents looking for real relief.
2017 – Buddy Bib® Collection Launch
Next came the Buddy Bib®, a three-in-one teether, bib, and plush toy that brought cuddly comfort and function together. It was designed with safety, comfort and convenience in mind.

2018 – Chew Cube® & Blanket Teether Debuts

We introduced the Chew Cube®, a lightweight, easy-to-grip teether rattle that supports sensory development through sound, shape, and texture.

Later that year, the Munch-it Blanket joined the family combining a cozy lovey with teething-friendly textures to soothe sore gums and stimulate touch.
2019 – Expanding Soothing Solutions

Our Teether Tethers launched, offering attachable textured teethers in fun shapes and colors. These clips helped keep baby’s favorite soothers clean and close.

We also entered the dental hygiene space with our Toothbrush Teether, a sensory-friendly, gum-soothing tool that mimics the motion of brushing baby’s first teeth.
2019–2021 – Innovation in Comfort & Safety

Next came the Crib Chomper®, a smart, chew-safe crib rail guard made from food-grade silicone and soft padding to protect baby and furniture alike. A matching Bestie Blanket was also released to complete the nursery look.

2021 – Stack N Chew® Mini Cube Set

We introduced the Stack N Chew® Mini Cubes, a set of BPA-free, food-grade silicone stacking toys designed for teething and developmental play. With flexible holes, bold colors, and tactile textures, they promote motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and sensory exploration.
Award-Winning Designs, Parent-Approved Products
Over the years, Malarkey Kids has received numerous industry awards across multiple product lines, recognizing our commitment to innovation, safety, and quality. From the Munch Mitt to the Stack N Chew, each product is thoughtfully designed to meet the real needs of growing babies and their caregivers.
Looking Ahead
Today, our products are sold around the world but our mission remains the same: to support babies through their earliest milestones with thoughtfully designed solutions parents can trust. We’re just getting started and we’re so glad you’re here for the journey.
