Penny Bouder – Founder, Green Kid Crafts

As an environmental scientist, Penny Bauder is no stranger to the environmental community. It was after becoming a mom that she saw a need for an outlet that would allow families to enjoy fun activities that brought them closer to each other and closer to nature. So, in 2010, Green Kid Crafts was born. An eco-friendly company that provides creative and educational activities to do with kids through STEAM science and craft Discovery Boxes, it has grown into one of the top kids' subscription companies in North America.

Penny is a winner of the Startup Nation Leading Moms in Business Competition and a recipient of the Female Founder Fellowship at the Founder’s Institute, where she was nominated as best female CEO. Green Kid Crafts is the end of the road for Penny, in that it ties together everything she finds important: deep environmental ethics, STEAM education, creativity, and her kids. Penny and her family—husband Jeff and sons Rowan and Declan—live in San Diego.
