Meet Taje Kids Creations

We're Blake
and Kayla Taje.

It all started with one sensory table and one very happy nephew.

After building a sensory table for our nephew, we watched how naturally he explored, mixed, created, and made the play his own. Seeing that much joy in something made by hand sparked the idea for Taje Kids Creations.

Today, we create thoughtful mud kitchens, play cafés, sensory stations, and custom daycare pieces from our Maple Ridge workshop—each designed around the children and spaces it will serve.

Built locally. Designed together. Made for real play.

Built in British Columbia

Made close to home.
Inspired by the wild.

Our work is shaped by the West Coast places we love—towering forests, mountain air, natural wood, and the belief that childhood should include a little more outdoor wonder.

Thoughtful pieces made to encourage creative play wherever the next family adventure begins.

Made by real hands

From our workshop
to their playtime.

Every piece moves through the same hands from sketch and mockup to sanding, colour, finishing, and delivery. These are real moments from recent Taje Kids builds.

The Taje Kids feeling

Sun-washed colour.
Natural wood.
Room to get messy.

Our look lives somewhere between a Scandinavian playroom and a little beach café: warm, simple, tactile, and made for childhood—not just for photos.

A must for your kids! We are so happy with ours. Durable and well built—nothing beats something custom built instead of junk you order online. We tried that; this was the answer. Thanks Blake!
