Hi everyone! 👋

We’re Dylan, Damien, and Lilly from Built By The Bay! ⚓

We love creating fun 3D printed items right here in Newfoundland. One of our favourite things to make is our sensory animal fidgets! 🐙🐸🐧🐉

We started this business because we love being creative, learning new skills, and making things that bring smiles to other people. Our fidgets are fun to collect, play with, and share with friends and family.

We have lots of different animals, colours, and sizes available, and we’re always printing something new!

Thank you to everyone who supports our small youth business. Every purchase helps us learn more about running a business, designing new products, and reaching our goals.

NEWFOUNDLAND COLLECTION

We’re excited to share some of our favourite Newfoundland-inspired creations!

Whale Keychains
Puffin Keychains
Lighthouse Keychains

Living in Newfoundland, we’re surrounded by amazing wildlife, beautiful coastlines, and incredible history. Every year, people travel from all over the world to see our whales, visit our colourful fishing communities, spot puffins, and experience the beauty of our province.

As local youth entrepreneurs, we wanted to create something that celebrates the place we call home.

Whether you’re a proud Newfoundlander, visiting our province, or looking for a unique gift, these keychains are a fun way to carry a little piece of Newfoundland wherever you go.

Made with pride by Dylan, Damien & Lilly 💙

Which Newfoundland symbol would you choose: Whale, Puffin, or Lighthouse?

A beautiful message came in for the boys today from another parent, and it truly touched our hearts. Hearing that the fidgets and sensory toys the boys create are helping other children means more than words can explain. ❤️

We also wanted to let everyone know that yes, we do sell and ship our products! Right now, orders can be placed through our Facebook business page, Built By The Bay by Dylan & Damien. Eventually, the boys hope to have everything available on Etsy as they continue to grow their little business.

We also wanted to share a little more about why this all started.

Our oldest son was diagnosed with autism after years of struggles and long waits for support. By the time he was finally seen, many of the childhood supports were no longer available because he was older. Our youngest son has also faced many struggles in his own way and has now been waiting almost 4 years for assessments and diagnosis.

This business became more than just 3D printing. It became an outlet, a safe place, creativity, confidence, learning, and growth. We noticed how much fidgets, sensory items, cubes, and hands-on creations helped with focus, emotions, anxiety, and even social skills.

What surprised us most was seeing how much joy these fidgets also brought to the adults in our home. It really made us realize that sometimes people of all ages just need healthy ways to keep their hands and minds busy. In a world where stress and unhealthy habits can take over so easily, something as simple as a fidget can become a calming outlet, a distraction, a comfort, or a way to self-regulate emotions. We truly believe many adults could benefit from them just as much as children do.

Dylan loves creating fidgets and sensory items, while Damien enjoys designing useful household products. Together, they are also working on a Newfoundland-inspired line filled with traditional Newfoundland items and ideas they are so excited to share with everyone.

Thank you to every single person supporting these boys, encouraging them, sharing their work, and believing in them. Supporting children, especially children who struggle differently, can truly change lives. ❤️

Little Yellow Rubber Boot

In Newfoundland and Labrador, a little yellow rubber boot is more than just footwear.

It’s early mornings on the wharf.
It’s puddles after a good rain.
It’s berry picking, cod fishing, beach walks, and helping where help is needed.
It’s growing up knowing that a little mud never hurt anyone.

From one generation to the next, the rubber boot has been a symbol of hard work, resilience, and island life.

Small enough for your keys, but big enough to carry a piece of Newfoundland wherever you go. 💙

Built by the Bay – Proudly inspired by Newfoundland traditions. ⚓️🌊
