Sparking imaginations.

Playtime Toys was founded in 1992 by two childhood friends, Jamie Chen and Alex Rivera, who shared a passion for inspiring young minds through play.

Starting with a small collection of educational toys designed to combine fun and learning, they quickly set themselves apart with their innovative approach, gaining popularity through word of mouth and community support.

Blast off.

Expanding their collection to include a wide range of educational toys, puzzles, and games, Playtime Toys moved into a dedicated warehouse by 2000, growing a passionate team while staying true to their core values of inspiring learning and delivering exceptional quality.
