As a mother of two mixed-culture kids, the then part-time language tutor, full-time graphic designer Lei Zarboulas was always thinking about how to keep her kids interested and speaking multiple languages. She wanted to develop products which were fun, imaginative and had cultural content. So Lei conceived of characters with big bean-shaped heads and cute little bodies that lived in a Beanpod, to serve as the basis of these products.

Beandolls
6" Beandoll
All of the Beandolls were born in the same beanpod. But after they had grown up, they fell out of their pod and landed in different regions of the world, where they picked up different cultural traits and powers.

But now their world - with its green trees, blue ocean, and the blue skies that cover it - is in danger. "polu," a dark evil monster, is destroying all that is green on earth. And "GCore" - the power source of their green world - is calling for help.

So the Beandolls have come together again, on a mission to defeat Polu and to save the earth. They will come together in Bean Valley, their new home and base. From there, they will start their journey.

Individual Beandolls are available in 7 colors. They are also sold in sets of 2, 3, or 4 Beandolls in a plush green pod. Each doll has its own name and elemental symbol. These multicultural, cute friends work together to save Mother Earth from pollution.
