HOWTOONS

Howtoons History

In 2004, Howtoons was created by Saul Griffith, Joost Bonsen, and artist Nick Dragotta. They set out to redefine the how-to manual for kids. In 2008, I joined the team and added playful toy design to the projects. The goal was to create engaging content with hands-on DIY projects for kids to build.

Throughout the years, Howtoons been published through Harper Collins, Make magazine, Image Comics, and Scholastic Books.

Below are examples of our comics and projects.
