William Alexander on The Weekend Club on RTE!

Last weekend, I got to talk with Jamie Maguire on RTÉ Jr Radio's The Weekend Club, and it was SO cool! Jamie asked me all about how I started William Alexander Toys and I got to tell everyone about my ocean wave candles and all the other awesome stuff I make.

I was a bit nervous, but Jamie made it really fun and easy. I told him about how everything started with my Dad and my inventions. Now look where it's led me – I've got dragons, book nooks, fairy houses, birdhouses, and so much more!

The best part was talking about how everything I make is handcrafted right here in Ireland. No factories – just me, my family and my friends creating cool stuff that kids actually want! I even got to mention my DIY kits and how awesome it is when kids build things themselves.

I hope some kids listening got inspired to start their own projects. You don't have to wait until you're grown up to make something amazing – I'm proof of that!

Listen to my interview here (at 25.30).

Thanks to Jamie and everyone at The Weekend Club for having me on. Maybe I'll be back someday to talk about all the new inventions I'm working on!
