Cool Kids,
Modern Parents.

The Paloma Teeter Totter is hand-crafted in Los Angeles and designed with the modern parent in mind. Created by designer and builder Derek Kistner of Ink and Wood for his niece Paloma, he wanted to build a toy that would take her on an imaginative play-based adventure.

Whether your little one sails the seas from the livingroom, or builds a tiny fort hideout for stuffed friends, this is sure to bring hours of joy and laughter.

BUILT
FOR KIDS.

Balancing safety with style was the number one priority in creating the teeter totter. Built with environmentally-friendly birch plywood and the finest water-based paint and finishes, all surfaces are thoughtfully softened for little hands.

Designed
with Love.

Derek Kistner of Ink and Wood designed and built the first model of the teeter totter for his one-year-old niece Paloma. He wanted to inspire creative and imaginative play for his niece while also creating a beautiful piece for his sister's home. As soon as she opened the wrapping paper, her eyes were filled with wonder and excitement as she stepped in and started rocking. He watched proudly while Paloma discovered a sense of balance, independence, and confidence in her own play abilities. Only later, after friends started requesting a teeter totter for themselves, did Derek realize he might need to create more for other adventurous kids and their cool parents.

Whether it's used as a toy box, fort, sail boat, nap spot, or whatever curious adventure your little one decides to explore that day - it warms our heart to see photos of The Paloma Teeter Totter in so many homes. This toy will be cherished for years, as proven by Paloma, who continues to rock away on her most favorite toy ever.
