We want to show you a street.
Remember?
The corner store. The paper route. The wall telephone.
But most play spaces are exciting only once.
Chapter 1
Children meet the street at story time.
Chapter 2
A whole story street for 540 to 4,300 sq ft (50 to 400 m²), cut from birch on CNC.
Chapter 3
Fronts change, the story moves on.
Chapter 4
Planes, trains and ships, 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 m) long.
Chapter 5
Children become the cast.
Chapter 6
A miniature of your street, and a game to play.
Chapter 7
New stamps. A new adventure. A reason to return.
In 2017, a small workshop. Step by step, a factory. A family game, and now this.
A whole story street for 540 to 4,300 sq ft (50 to 400 m²), or up to 8,600 sq ft (800 m²) with the cafe. Children read it, watch it, live it on your stage, take it home, and come back for the next chapter.

Ours has a next chapter.
Families return when something new is waiting. Kids Wood Story gives you a story world that keeps moving, so the second visit is better than the first.
Families want a place worth coming back to. Owners need a reason for them to return.
Parents born between 1985 and 1995 remember the corner store, the paper route, the soda fountain and the telephone on the wall. Every parent dreams of giving their child a childhood like that.
So we built that street. It is timeless on purpose: real wood, hand-painted signs, no trends to go out of date. Parents walk in and smile. Children walk in and play.
Instead of playing without purpose in an ordinary plastic play area, children become part of a wooden world with a story and a meaning.
They do not just play. They take on tasks, get to know the town and grow attached to the place, in the best way. That is what brings a family back.
A good place for children has to be a good place for parents too.
A cafe they enjoyA comfortable, pleasant cafe in the same style as the street, so parents relax while children play.
A role in the showParents are not only the audience. They can take a role and join the story with their child.
Quality time at homeA story read at home becomes real time together, with questions to talk about before sleep.
Peace of mindSeeing your child in a screen-free, creative and educational place.
Many play cafes are run by husband and wife teams. You know the hard part: the first visit is easy, the second is not.
Decor is seen in one visit. A story that continues gives families a reason to return, and every decision in this concept is made for that return.
A place, a story and everything your team needs to run it.
A complete story and a complete service. Nobody else connects all of it.
Read the bookPicture books from one small town and its characters, in print, digital and audio.
Watch the filmShort animations on your screens and on YouTube, made to send children back to real play.Live it on stageCostumes, roles and a show in your space, with parents joining in.Take the street homeA printed model of the play street, so the story goes on at bedtime.
Play the gameThe same town as a family game, from the makers of BAM BAM BABAM.
Collect the stampsA passport that turns one visit into a collection.Then they come back. A different story every day, and a new chapter every month.
This is what no themed room can do. A musical, a show, a festival or a market: whatever happens in the book happens in your space.
An example chapter. Stories, characters and events are in preparation.
Every chapter carries one life lesson, and each book ends with short questions for parents to talk about at home.
Simple, repeating stories for the youngest. Longer stories with tasks for older children.
The body stays. The sign, awning and accessories change, so the market becomes a grocer and the post office becomes a police station. Your space looks new without being rebuilt.

Airplanes, trains and ships, 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 m) long. Children ride them into the story, and every voyage ends somewhere on your street.

We 3D print a scale model of your play area from the same files that drive our machines. Hold it, turn it, show it to your partners and your landlord, and decide with confidence.
Keep models and books on your own shelf. A child reads the story at home, moves the little figures along the same street, and asks to come back to the real one.
The story passport turns one visit into a collection. Children ask to come back, because the series is not finished yet.
Story themes shown as examples. They follow the American year, so there is always something in season.
Book one begins in the town square. Book two is a different story, down at the harbor. In book three the two stories meet at the station, and children finally see how it all fits together.
Book 1, the town squareThe Bell of OakwickThe fair bell goes missing. The story ends with a train whistle far away.
Book 2, the harbor roadLina's Rainy LetterA different story: a letter with no name, and someone on the way.
Book 3, the roads meetThe Train That WaitedThe whistle and the letter meet at the station, and a new friend steps off the train.Season finaleEveryone, on your stageEvery character from every book comes together for one big show in your venue.Each book has 10 leaves: 20 pages plus cover, 6 × 6 in (15 × 15 cm), printed in two languages, with read-aloud audio in both.
Lina, Milo, Grandpa Oak and Pepper stay the same. Children grow up with them, new friends move into town, and the story simply keeps going, year after year.
Oakwick stays a town any American child can call home. Partners can add a chapter set in their own state.
State chapters are planned. Story titles and themes are examples.
How the project runs, and how the venue earns after it opens.
An example. You plan sessions around your own capacity.
Play cafesNew themes and stage sessions through the week, so every visit feels different.Preschools and daycaresWeekly classroom activities, a teacher guide and a small classroom stage.
Autism and special education centersCalmer, predictable, sensory-friendly sessions with visual story cards and small groups. A play and learning program, not a medical service.
Libraries, museums, malls, hotels and family restaurantsStory hours and children's areas built around a world families recognize.We do not promise income figures. Every venue is different.
Your success is our success, so the concept comes with sales and marketing support.
Sample material made for this page, so you can judge the quality before you write to us.
Oakwick is a small wooden town with a square, a clock tower, a bakery, a post office, a toy shop, a station and a harbor. Every story happens here, so children feel they know the place.
LinaThe young letter carrier of Oakwick. Curious and brave, she asks what everyone else is thinking.
MiloA small inventor with a big tool belt. He fixes things, and sometimes breaks them first.
Grandpa OakThe station master. He knows every story in town and always has time to listen.
PepperA cheeky red squirrel who borrows things without asking, and learns why that matters.Example material made for this page. The final town and characters are approved after specialist and family testing.
The Bell of OakwickA Harvest Fair story
Every fall, the town of Oakwick holds its Harvest Fair. And every fair begins the same way: Grandpa Oak rings the little brass bell.
But this morning, the stand was empty. "Where is the bell?" asked Lina. Milo pushed up his glasses. "Bells don't walk away."
They looked behind the pumpkins. They looked under the crates. Then Milo saw it: a trail of acorn shells, leading out of the square.
The trail ended under the great old oak. High on a branch sat Pepper, hugging the bell. "I only wanted to hear it up close," he whispered. "Then I got scared to tell."
Lina smiled. "Telling the truth is the brave part." So Pepper carried the bell back and rang it himself.
Then, far down the track, a train whistle blew. Who was coming to Oakwick?
Life lesson: honesty and sharing.
Now come and ring the bell at the Harvest Fair.
The Bell of Oakwick
Lina, Milo, Grandpa Oak (a parent or staff member), Pepper (a hand puppet) and all the children as townsfolk.
Costumes and props: yellow raincoat, satchel, overalls, waistcoat, squirrel puppet, hand bell, lanterns, wooden acorns.

Made in our workshopFull play villagesTowers, slides and balconiesPlay and cafe togetherFrom our workshop and KidsWoodStore catalog.
Ismail Sari started in 2017 with a small workshop. It grew into a bigger workshop, international sales began in 2018, and step by step the work moved into a factory, with three years of full projects behind it. Along the way: playhouses, play kitchens, indoor play towns and furniture for families, schools, preschools, play cafes and hotels in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe.
Everything is designed in-house, cut on CNC routers and followed from drawing to delivery. Kids Wood Story brings that workshop, its 3D tools and its game studio together in one story.
