Parents know the pressure girls face today. Even off-screen, influencer culture surrounds them with impossible beauty standards and the drive to grow up too soon. Hopscotch Girls gives families and caregivers a meaningful alternative, with products that build real confidence, creativity, and self-worth.

Founder
In 2016, Melissa Foley had a birthday party for her three-year-old daughter and was surprised when all of the gifts she received were princess-themed. After the party, Melissa asked her family members why they chose princess gifts for such a young girl. The response: “That’s what’s available.”
That experience inspired Melissa to create Hopscotch Girls—a media company dedicated to empowering girls. The company aims to combat stereotypes, lift girls up, and lay the groundwork for a future with more women in power.
