Cardkits are created by Anther Kiley, a designer and educator in Providence, RI. Inspired by Anther’s own childhood creations, and informed by a practice spanning design, education, and play, Cardkits are designed and produced with careful attention to quality, environmental impact, and the play experiences they facilitate.

Cardkits are designed, manufactured, and packaged at local scale, in Rhode Island. The kits are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced paper, and are 100% recyclable.
