Meet My Family!

THE FAMILY UNIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, INFLUENTIAL UNIT ON EARTH​

Years ago, I was stuck at home in bed with a chronic skin condition: Red Skin Syndrome, Eczema, and Topical Steroid Withdrawal. I didn’t let that stop me from creating an intentional space for my girls.

I used my educational background to engage my girls in independent play and a variety of open activities that allowed them to stay engaged in play all day long despite my limitations.

Hi! I’m RyLee!

the creator of Purposeful Toys

My desire to enhance family life led me to get my bachelors in Family Community Services with a double emphasis in Child Development and Family Services. I taught preschool for 5 years and I’m now a mom of four girls and I absolutely love it!

I’m so grateful for my education and the resources that I created for my family years ago and I wanted to share my knowledge, tips, and resources with other moms wanting to provide their kids a meaningful and intentional play experience for their kids at home. I focus on purposeful toys that are built to last and benefit kids at various developmental stages.
