The Story Behind Tobio’s
I’m Mel, the founder of Tobio’s.
I’ve always loved creating, but starting something new often felt overwhelming. Too many supplies, too many choices, too much setup — what should have been relaxing quickly turned into stress before I even began:
So I decided to change that. I created the kit I always wished existed: simple, portable, and genuinely enjoyable to use. One beautiful box with everything inside. No research, no mess, no pressure to be perfect.
And Tobio? He’s my cat and creative companion — curious, playful, and completely unconcerned with doing things the “right way.”
He reminds me that Tobio’s is about creating without fear, slowing down, and giving yourself permission to begin.
FAQ
What if I haven't painted since I was a kid?
What if I haven't painted since I was a kid?
Perfect. That's exactly who we made this for.
Your kit comes with a guided workbook full of simple prompts that walk you through each painting. No blank canvas staring back at you. No pressure to create a masterpiece.
Over 200,000 women who "couldn't draw a stick figure" are now painting every week. You don't need talent. You just need 10 minutes and an open mind.
How is Tobio's different from the cheap watercolor sets I see everywhere?
How is Tobio's different from the cheap watercolor sets I see everywhere?
Three words: Quality you can feel.
Cheap sets use plastic palettes. Tobio's uses real walnut wood. Cheap sets use thin paper that buckles. Tobio's uses thick cotton paper that stays smooth. Cheap sets use chalky paint that streaks. Tobio's uses creamy colors that blend like butter.
Plus, our pigments are safety certified. When you buy from unknown sources, you don't always know what's in the paint.
I'm always on the go. Can I actually use this anywhere?
I'm always on the go. Can I actually use this anywhere?
That's exactly why we made it pocket-sized.
Women paint with Tobio's in coffee shops, on airplanes, on park benches, and in waiting rooms. Because the brush holds its own water, you don't need a cup or a sink. Just flip open the case and start.
No setup. No cleanup. No awkward stares from strangers. That’s why many people call it a tiny watercolor kit and a mini watercolour travel set in one.
What if I don't like it?
What if I don't like it?
We offer a 60 day money-back guarantee. If Tobio's isn't everything you hoped for, we'll refund your purchase.
Over 5,000 five-star reviews say you probably won't need it. But it's there if you do.
Is this actually relaxing, or is that just marketing talk?
Is this actually relaxing, or is that just marketing talk?
Painting activates the same parts of your brain as meditation. It slows your breathing and quiets racing thoughts.
Our customers say: "I sleep better on nights I paint." "My anxiety has a new enemy." "I haven't doom-scrolled in weeks."
That's not marketing. That's 200,00+ customers who keep coming back.
Can kids use this too?
Can kids use this too?
Absolutely. Tobio's is perfect for ages 6 and up.
The pigments are certified for safety. The guided workbook makes it easy for kids to follow along. And grandmas, moms, and daughters are using Tobio's to paint together. No screens. Just color, creativity, and time that actually feels like time.
