I hope you'll stick around and support!

I hope to help children in the Philippines who are in need by donating 100% of our net proceeds from our DIY parol and jeepney kits to organizations supporting that cause.

What is a parol?
Laser cut Jeepney puzzle
Why choose our parol?
A Filipino parol is a traditional Christmas lantern that plays a big part in Filipino culture when the holidays come around. The term "parol" comes from the Spanish word "farol," meaning lantern or light. These lanterns are usually star-shaped and are made with colorful materials, and decorated with intricate designs.
Why choose our parol?

Why choose our parol?
Traditional parol frames are constructed using bamboo sticks and pegs which are hot glued together. However, with our kit, you will receive a kid friendly laser-cut wooden star puzzle. Our pre-cut pieces are easier for little hands to put together as opposed to the traditional bamboo sticks.
