35+ years of making toys - and counting!
Our story starts all the way back in the 60’s, but it wasn’t until 1985 that we launched our big building blocks. Designed specifically for toddlers, we were the first brand to create construction toys for toddlers. We didn’t start making traditionally sized bricks until our customers began asking for a more fairly priced option. And this is where we like to think we shine. Well with value, but also in that we’re continuously seeking way to deliver creativity to kids!
