Meet the Chief Play Officer

Hi, I’m Cara, the heart behind CJECOPLAY—and most importantly, mom to an imaginative and energetic 4-year-old son who inspires everything we create.

I’m based in South Africa, but CJECOPLAY’s footprint stretches across the globe, with partners, suppliers, and customers in Canada, Australia, and the UAE. As a single mom, I understand the importance of meaningful, affordable, and screen-free playtime that fits into real-life parenting.

What started as a creative outlet has grown into a global mission: to design play-based learning tools that empower children and caregivers to explore, grow, and connect—with the planet and with each other.

Thank you for being part of our play-full world. 💚

Who We Are

At CJECOPLAY, we believe that learning should be hands-on, playful, and kind to the planet. Founded by a mom with a mission, our brand creates eco-conscious, 3D-printed educational toys and sensory tools designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and connection in early childhood.

With hubs in South Africa, Canada, Dubai, and Australia, we serve a growing global community of parents, educators, and therapists looking for purposeful play products that are as fun as they are functional.
