Matchstick Monkey

Matchstick Monkey was founded by Katie Windridge in 2016, with the aim to create a product that would ease any baby's teething pain. At one-month-old, her daughter, Minnie, was in constant pain. She wasn't settling or getting much sleep due to this. After refusing every teething toy and Katie's fingers being bitten constantly, she realised that there had to be an easier way and as a new mum, she wanted to do anything she could to help. She got inspiration from her daughter's love of monkeys and this is how the original designs of Matchstick Monkey was created.

Katie received help launching her brand from Touker Suleyman that appears on BBC’s Dragon’s Den. After years of hard work and growing her brand, Matchstick Monkey has won multiple awards for her genius products.

Every milestone in motherhood brings something new to learn and love. Matchstick Monkey believe that every moment of parenthood should be cherished in every way possible, no matter if it is a moment of giggles or just sleeping. That is why they design products to help parents guide their little ones through important developmental stages of life, from the first tooth to the very last!
