Founded in 1974 by Dale and Liz VonSeggen under the name “Puppets from One Way Street”, this company quickly led the way for puppetry and children’s ministry. Today, One Way Squared™ is the nation’s largest supplier of puppetry and creative ministry resources.

Puppedcation™, founded by Kristofer Sommerfeld in 2015, has been dedicated to providing churches, homes, and schools with high-quality, affordable puppets, staging, and supplies. Since our beginning, our highly sought-after Classroom Stage has “set the stage” for customers worldwide, with thousands sold!

PlaySoup was founded in 2000 by Dave Privett with the goal to provide quality resources for puppeteers, performers, and professionals involved in the creative arts. Since then, PlaySoup has introduced numerous innovations such as the Toobie blacklight body puppet, the best-selling video series on puppet design, innovative Easter & Christmas programs, and the giant Gleep puppets.

At The Creative Arts Store, our commitment is to offer premium creative ministry products. In July 2020, Kristofer Sommerfeld acquired The Creative Arts Store from its previous owners, Trent & Jessica Black, welcoming it into our family of brands.
