our story

Bellybees began as a dream sketched during a marketing class in Minnesota. With no working capital at the time, these ideas remained a hobby until years later when life took an unexpected turn. A box of those early sketches, rediscovered during a move, reignited the vision and set the foundation for what would become a groundbreaking journey.

Bellybees began with a simple yet heartfelt mission: to provide the very best for children. Starting as a baby food company, we soon found our place among fun educational products.

As a mom of two, I’ve always wanted to give my children the best—not just in what they learn but in how they experience the world around them. Like many parents, I’ve struggled with the ever-growing presence of screens in our daily lives. I wanted my kids to have the kind of childhood I cherished—one filled with creativity, curiosity, and hands-on play.

What started as a simple idea has grown into a passion-driven business, proudly based in Canada. At Bellybees, we create products that inspire kids to learn, play, and discover while reducing screen time. We believe real learning happens when children use their hands, engage their imaginations, and explore the world around them.

Our dedication to blending our Sri Lankan roots with international aspirations, reimagining childhood as a joyful, screen-free adventure filled with creativity and exploration.

Today, Bellybees offers everything from:

• Books; to spark imagination.
• Educational Toys and Flashcards; to encourage learning.
• Puzzles, Craft Kits, and Toys; to inspire creativity.
• Posters and Stationery to; decorate and for gift-giving.

Every product we create is thoughtfully designed to foster connection, learning, and hands-on exploration. At Bellybees, we believe that childhood should be a joyful, screen-free adventure. Whether it’s crafting with a kit, diving into a magical story, or playing a game, our goal is to create opportunities for kids to grow, learn, and connect with their families in meaningful ways.
