About Us
About PopDrop Shop
Founded by educators for students who love to fidget — because if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.
Our Mission
PopDrop Shop creates playful, accessible tools that bring moments of joy, calm, and focus to people of all ages — supporting everyday well-being and helping everyone feel a little more grounded.
How It All Started
PopDrop Shop began in classrooms, not boardrooms. As educators, we watched students tap, click, doodle, and fidget their way through the day. Instead of fighting it, we decided to design with it in mind.
What started as a simple “there has to be a better way” idea quickly turned into a collection of playful, teacher-approved fidgets and focus tools. Our early prototypes lived on desks, backpacks, and keychains—tested by real students, real teachers, and real everyday chaos.
What We Make
Today, PopDrop Shop designs and produces a growing line of fidget-friendly products — like our flexible keychain Clicklets and other tactile, sensory-friendly tools — that are built to be:
- Playful: Fun, expressive designs that kids, teens, and adults actually want to use.
- Purposeful: Created to support focus, self-regulation, and everyday well-being.
- Durable: Made to handle classrooms, backpacks, car rides, and everything in between.
Designed & Made in the USA
Every PopDrop Shop product is designed and manufactured in the USA. Our team operates out of Chicago, Illinois and Traverse City, Michigan, where we:
- Prototype and test new designs in real-life settings.
- Oversee production to ensure consistent quality and safety.
- Hand-pack and ship orders with the same care we’d want for our own classrooms and families.
What We Believe
- Fidgeting is not the enemy. It’s often a natural way to focus, self-soothe, and stay present.
- Tools should feel good to use. If it’s not fun or comfortable, it won’t become a go-to support.
- Design matters. Thoughtful design can turn a simple object into someone’s favorite daily ritual.
- Everyone deserves support. Our products are for students, teachers, neurodivergent thinkers, anxious commuters, desk workers— anyone who benefits from a little tactile calm.
Today & What’s Next
PopDrop Shop is still run with the heart of a classroom teacher: curious, creative, and always iterating. We listen closely to students, families, educators, and retailers to shape what comes next — new designs, new collections, and new ways to make everyday life a little more playful and a little more grounded.
Whether you’re filling a classroom, a counseling office, a backpack, a toy store, or your own desk drawer, we’re glad you’re here. If you can’t beat the fidgets, come join us.
