Every Color Has a Name

Every color has a name. Every name starts a story.

Most crayons come in "red," "blue," "yellow." Ours come in Lady Bug Red, Octopus Purple, and Goldfish Gold. It's a small thing that turns out to be a big thing: when a color has a name, picking it up becomes a conversation instead of just a stroke.

We name every Do-A-Dot color after the world your kid already loves — animals, snacks, weather, bugs in the backyard. So "what color do you want?" turns into "tell me about the tiger," and a coloring session quietly becomes language, imagination, and connection.

A few of our favorites

• Piggy Pink — soft, warm, and a little bit silly.
• Lady Bug Red — bold and bright, just like the real thing.
• Tiger Tail Orange — the stripe that started a hundred stories.
• Goldfish Gold — shimmery, sunny, snack-approved.
• Octopus Purple — deep, dreamy, eight arms optional.
• Kitty Cat Black — for whiskers, night skies, and everything in between.

That's just the start — our chunky crayon set alone has eighteen named colors, and the full Do-A-Dot rainbow has many more. (Full color chart coming soon — we're painting it as we speak.)

Try this at home

• Ask your little one to name a new color of their own — then use it all afternoon.
• Play "find the color" on a walk: which one matches the sky, the dog, the snack?
• Let them tell you the story of the picture before they tell you what it is.

Mess-free, big-hearted, and made for the way little kids actually think. hi, friends — go make something colorful.
