Collection: Galison Mudpuppy

Galison Mudpuppy is a New York-based brand that creates award-winning puzzles, games, and creative toys for children. Galison was founded in 1979 with a mission to bring art into everyday life, and launched Mudpuppy as their dedicated children's brand in 1992. With over 200 awards to their name, their products are sold at museum shops and specialist retailers worldwide—they're the kind of beautifully designed, art-focused products you'd expect to find in a gallery gift shop.

Galison Mudpuppy covers a wide age range, making it easy to find the right gift. For toddlers and children aged 1-2 years, there are chunky board books like Andy Warhol's ABCs. Children aged 3-4 years will enjoy progressive puzzle sets (starting at 4 pieces) and magnetic dress-up playsets. For children aged 5-6 years, there are 64-piece search-and-find puzzles and beginner craft kits. Children aged 7-8 years and up can tackle 300-piece shaped puzzles and paint-by-number kits, while the 500-1000 piece puzzles suit older children and families for shared puzzling time.

The range goes well beyond traditional jigsaw puzzles. At Haliburtons, we stock puzzles in various formats—search and find, scratch and sniff, glow-in-the-dark, and shaped puzzles from 4 pieces up to 1000. There are also paint-by-number kits featuring Warhol and Frank Lloyd Wright designs, magnetic dress-up and build-it playsets, classic board games like Ludo (featuring Basquiat artwork), wooden dominoes, origami kits, and thoughtful products like their "We are Colorful" skin tone crayon set. It's a collection that celebrates art, creativity, and screen-free engagement.

What sets Galison Mudpuppy apart is their collaborations with renowned artists and cultural institutions. Their range includes officially licensed products featuring Andy Warhol's iconic pop art (from soup cans to Marilyn), Jean-Michel Basquiat's bold street art, and Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural patterns. They also partner with the Natural History Museum and work with contemporary illustrators to create original designs. It's an art education through play—children engage with museum-quality artwork while puzzling, painting, or creating.

Galison Mudpuppy is committed to sustainability throughout their production. Their puzzle greyboard contains 90% recycled paper, and packaging is made from 70% recycled materials. All products are printed with non-toxic, soy-based inks. They design screen-free toys that encourage imaginative play while keeping environmental impact in mind. All Galison Mudpuppy products meet CPSIA, ASTM, and CE safety regulations—a sustainable gift choice for eco-conscious families.
