Steve and Joni Abdalla created Wee Believers® with a mission to enkindle the fire of faith in families. They accomplish this by offering a range of playful, innovative and high-quality products that are authentically Catholic and which will inspire both child and adult to know, love and serve God.
The mission of Wee Believers® is incorporated into the products and is brought to life through playful, animated characters of faith that include Father Juan Pablo, Sister Mary Clara, and the Wee Believers® family.
Equally important to Steve and Joni are products that are lasting-toys that will stay in families from generation to generation. Wee Believers® toys are distinguished by excellence in design, safety, durability, and play value. They reflect a commitment to three early childhood development distinctives:
• Education
• Entertainment
• Enrichment of Faith
The company is currently developing an entire line of products to be used in the home with parents, at school with faith educators, and in church environments where a quiet or reverent manipulative is appropriate. Wee Believers® toys are accompanied by an illustrated, ecclesiastically approved instruction booklet narrated by the Wee Believers® characters in order to foster faith-filled communication between parents and children, educators and students.
The line includes a children's plush toy called My Mass Kit™, the flagship product launched in January 2009. My Mass Kit™ will help children, in a playful and tactile way, learn about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, understand the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, and love and respect the Holy Priesthood.
Our newest products were released in fall 2009 release and are Father Juan Pablo and Sister Mary Clara 13" plush Vocation Dolls (each sold separately). Each huggable doll will be accompanied by the signature Wee Believers® instruction booklet highlighting the vocation stories of priests and women religious from a variety of orders. The hope is that this chance to "peek inside"" the experiences of real-life priests and nuns will spark an openness and desire in the hearts of children to consider a call to consecrated life. In addition, the booklet will educate parents on ways to foster vocations within the family.
Another product in development is My Quiet Church™, a plush (soft-sculpture) church created to teach children the proper names of everything seen inside a Catholic Church. My Quiet Church™ contains all of the Wee Believers® characters so that children can role-play holy Mass and the sacraments. The design of My Quiet Church™ is traditional and reverent. The roof and side wall unzip and open, revealing easy access into the interior. My Quiet Church™ has a convenient carrying handle. Accessory kits for baptisms, weddings, first communions and additional Sacraments will be available soon. My Quiet Church™ is expected for a winter 2010 release.
