Firefox Is Celebrating Its 10th Year In Business!

Firefox Toys is a family-owned business that is committed to quality educational toys.  With our products, kids can learn basic principles of flight, explore science concepts, be creative and most important of all, play outside.

In 2012, Firefox took off with our namesake product, the Firefox Glider. The Firefox was not only durable, but it was a magnet of fun for all ages, everywhere!  As we participated in a variety of shows throughout the years, such as Astra, Learning Express and the NY Toy Fair, we observed how Firefox would bring out the kid in every adult that visited our booth. Our toy was a success!

Stores that bought our product also saw the value of outside play and family oriented fun and the rest is history.

With continued quality and durable toys, made of high-quality foam, our company continues to grow with more than 15 gliders to choose from.

As today’s digital world continues to evolve, Firefox’s mission has become stronger than ever in encouraging kids to exercise their minds and bodies, and families to become engaged in outdoor play.

We continue to support the “brick and mortar” local businesses of our country as they have continued to support us since 2012.

As we embark on our 10th Anniversary, we would like to thank all of those that have supported our business and made Firefox Toys a brand they can trust.

Thank you,
Firefox Family

The Traveler makes traveling with kids easy and fun!

All Wikki Stix products can be described as clean, quiet and creative…but The Traveler has the added attraction of offering all of that in a fun bright red carry case!  

Wikki Stix quickly found their place as a travel toy, when they were handed out by several airlines just a few years ago. Introduced to address the travel benefits of Wikki Stix, The Traveler has long been one of the best sellers in the Wikki Stix line.

Included in the case are 144 Wikki Stix in a total of 22 colors for an amazing amount of creative play. Also included is a 12-page booklet of ideas, activities, illustrations and several step-by-step instructions to give kids a number of fun starting points after which their imaginations take hold…and they take off!

The Traveler is also a great little craft kit. With all those Wikki Stix in a handy carry case…it’s great to take along to spend crafting time with Grandma…or have handy at home for creating a special project.

Wikki Stix themselves are a fun and easy-to-use product for ages 3 and up, as they are soft, pliable, and easy to twist, shape, use and reuse. In fact, they are endlessly reusable. They adhere to most smooth surfaces with just fingertip pressure and are easy to peel up to change or reposition. They do not contain sharp parts and will not tear apart, but cut easily with scissors.  Wholly Made in the USA, Wikki Stix conform to all US safety standards for use by children age 3 and up.

Play That is More Than a Game

The English language is considered a complex language to read, pronounce, and write. It is crucial that children have a strong foundation in phonemic awareness, segmenting, and decoding for reading success. If not, parents may encounter their children memorizing words while reading, eventually discovering that they are ineffectual readers as early as second grade.

Children know when their reading ability does not advance and they quickly lose confidence. Carrie Chapie, Owner of Darling LLC and Creator of WORD WITT, found that this situation was not uncommon. This motivated her to research the science and mechanics behind reading. Children need fun ways to elevate their confidence and foundational reading skills. EVERYONE Learns when they are having fun.

WORD WITT is not Boggle, and it’s not Scrabble… it is it’s own fresh new format. A fast, FUN, and competitive game for building foundational reading skills in school age children all while keeping word-loving children and adults engaged and thinking.

Roll the dice. Flip a card, Race to create the most words in a minute. A wonderful way to ignite laughter, connection, and the urge to play over and over again to beat your score and theirs!

Created by a parent and supported by educators. WORD WITT has won the Oppenheim Gold Seal Award, PALS Top 10 Award, PALS Award, Creative Child 2021 Game of the Year Award, and endorsed by University of Michigan’s Dyslexia Help.

Darling LLC is proud to announce they have been able to shift 90% of their next round of manufacturing of WORD WITT to Michigan/USA. Although Covid had made connecting with retailers challenging, Darling LLC is looking forward to continuing to partner with community, and educationally engaged toy and speciality stores.

Steiff: The Company That Invented the World’s Favorite Toy Declares 2022 as “The Year of the Teddy Bear”

In celebration of the 120th Anniversary of the world’s favorite toy, legendary plush brand Steiff has declared 2022 as “The Year of the Teddy Bear.”

After nearly two years of the pandemic, there’s never been a better time to give a Teddy bear a hug, so this is the perfect opportunity for retailers everywhere to make Steiff products the centerpiece of their plush business.

“Teddy bears are frequently lifetime companions for their owners,” said Jim Pitocco, President of Steiff North America. “They become a best friend that has experienced a child's milestones at every age and stage of their life. The varying emotions that come with such a significant role is something we feel honored to be a part of.”  

During the company’s year-long celebration, several new Teddy bears, animals, and famous licensed characters are making their debut through a series of consumer contests, social media campaigns, and special events.

“This is an exciting time for Steiff and for our retailers,” said Pitocco. “We are continuing our long-term partnership with Disney, our affordably priced ‘Soft Cuddly Friends’ line remains a tremendous success, and we have collaborated with iconic brands Neiman Marcus and Marc Jacobs to create unique products that appeal to young, fashion-forward collectors. The breadth of our line allows us to offer items that appeal to all kinds of consumers.”

Pitocco says that the company’s repositioning as a toy brand in 2018 was a turning point for the business, crediting their Soft Cuddly Friends line as a true breakthrough.

“Along with our unique partnerships with popular street brands and our commitment to creative collaborations, we’ve been able to live up to our proud legacy while remaining innovative to a whole new generation of Steiff fans,” said Pitocco. “For a company this rich in history, that’s something worth celebrating.”
