I’m Thomas Joschko
driven by curiosity, a spirit of experimentation and the love to create, I am constantly playing and tinkering to find new, unexpected areas of exploration. In an age of mass production i deeply value handmade work which remains central to Tojo play. I pour my heart into drawing, experimenting and designing weird things, and love to make playthings that make the world a little more:
Oh! Aaaand I deeply care about drawing, skateboarding, toys, comics, bubbles, creatures and gooey things!
Woah you found me!
Making playmemories
I believe childhood should be lived, not scrolled. When in the hands of a child, a toy can spark something bigger than itself- a story, an adventure, a secret world, a friendship.They turn ordinary moments into stories, friendships, laughter, and memories that last a lifetime. Technology has a place in our lives. It can connect us, but when it consumes our attention, we miss out on the little moments that make life meaningful.
Thats why i believe in putting the screen down and picking up something up. A Toy. A story. A new idea. A friends hand. Because the best memories aren’t streamed. They’re made!
Play has no age
Who told us to stop playing? That it´s childish.
Play is everywhere.
Play is a state of mind.
But did you know that a playful mindset helps us to release judgement, embrace possibility and reframe success?
Born to play
With Tojo play I want to inspire, tickle your senses and get you off your screens, to move and explore this beautiful planet.

ToJo gifts
In a toy landscape crowded with electronics, features, and short-lived trends, ToJo Play has stood stable like a rock as a radical simple idea: good toys don´t tell children what to do.They trust them to figure it out on their own.
Crafting quirky handmade toys:
With a story.
People of all ages
Eco- friendly
That grow with the child
The world needs to play more than ever. At a time where playthings are becoming increasingly virtual I want to show that my toys aren’t about the latest tech or trends but about emotion, atmosphere, narrative and feel.
