Our Story

Welcome! My name is Melissa and I am so very excited you are here! This month, July 2025, I have officially been in business for 5 years. Looking back, I didn't know how far this would take my family and me. I started making Coco Dough during Covid when shopping at the store wasn't an option. Friends would ask what we were up to being home so much and I shared we were making play dough. Having many friends with little ones too, they quickly requested jars for their own littles to be entertained. Then as we transitioned into going into the world again, I began getting requests for party favors and school party treats.

Since the beginning I have grown from simple jars to full kits, boutique pop-ups, school parties, birthday parties, and even to non-dough items such as bookmarks and back to school signs.

My brain simply never turns off. When I find something I like, I brainstorm how I can make it fancier and bring to life my vision. How can I make this idea something so special for someone, that they will simply need to have it….

As a mom and retired early childhood teacher, I know the importance of fine motor skills, expressing the imagination, and making learning fun and engaging. Coco Dough comes with endless possibilities and provides hours of fun for all ages.
