Our Story
Pitch A Fête is redefining how families experience play—through sensory-rich, story-led tools that support emotional development and spark imagination, wherever life unfolds.
Founded in Pittsburgh and grounded in the science of social-emotional learning, we design intentional products that meet children in real moments: with calm, creativity, and character-driven connection.
Our play tents, DIY plush pal kits, and companion storybooks transform everyday spaces into environments where children can regulate emotions, build confidence, and express themselves freely. Each story is offered in two formats—as a free printable for accessibility, and as a keepsake edition available on Amazon, making emotional support both beautifully designed and widely available.
Whether at home, in school, or on the move, every Pitch A Fête product invites purposeful play, emotional growth, and the kind of storytelling that lingers.
We are a resource for families, educators, pediatricians, therapists, and hospitality professionals seeking imaginative tools that support emotional wellness. By blending child development principles with sensory-rich design, we help create environments where children can feel safe, connected, and free to explore who they are.
Pitch A Fête was founded by Kaitlin Brenna Malaspina, a mother and creative strategist who believes that play is one of childhood’s most powerful resources—and that emotional support should always be within reach. Today, she leads the brand with one goal: to make every stay a space for story, discovery, and calm.
Because childhood doesn’t pause—and neither should the tools to support it.
Our Core values
Inclusive Imagination
We honor the many ways children express themselves through play. Our characters and experiences are designed to reflect the diverse stories, strengths, and sensory needs of the children we serve—so every child can feel seen, safe, and celebrated.
Family Connection
We design for moments that matter. Our play-based tools invite shared joy, deepen bonds, and help families build connection through calm, creativity, and curiosity.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are committed to thoughtful sourcing and creative reuse. From upcycled materials to low-waste packaging, our products are intentionally crafted to support both the planet and the people who call it home.
Empathetic Hospitality
We believe hospitality is more than a destination—it’s a mindset. From a hotel suite to a school counselor’s office to a grandmother’s guest room, our products help create welcoming environments that rise to meet the emotional needs of children through sensory design, calm, and storytelling.
Pioneering Play
We reimagine what play can be—intentional, emotionally rich, and rooted in growth. Our tools support self-expression, resilience, and wonder, shaping the future of family life one story at a time.
INTENTIONAL ACCESS
We believe every child deserves tools that support their emotional wellbeing—and every mindful, well-intentioned adult guiding them should have access to those tools. That’s why each story in our collection is offered both as a free printable and as a beautifully crafted keepsake. No trade-offs. No gatekeeping. Just resources rooted in dignity, design, and the belief that support should meet children where they are.
