Los Angeles Toy Company Adventuretown Toy Emporium Launches World’s First Customized Subscription Box

Adventuretown Toy Emporium was busy during the pandemic creating a new product that will help parents keep their child developmentally on track. “In August of 2020 when the 2nd Covid wave hit, I realized that this pandemic wasn’t going to go away any time soon and that pandemic-related isolation was going to have a profound effect on the development of the youngest children. You can’t lock a child in a house for 2 years and not expect that their development would be delayed,” states Annamarie von Firley, President of Adventuretown Toy Emporium. The most recent research bears this out. In January, studies were released that show that children who were as young as 6 months old when the U.S. pandemic lockdown began show “significant developmental delays”. That is why Ms. von Firley and her team of experts created Fledglings’ Flight.

PlanToys and TOYCYCLE Partner to Minimize Environmental Impact of Children’s Toys

PlanToys, the global leader in sustainable toy manufacturing, announced that the celebrated second-hand children’s marketplace, TOYCYCLE, will be the preferred partner of the manufacturer to buy and sell second-hand toys effective immediately. “The problem is offloading all that stuff in a short period of time when you’re busy working and trying to raise kids,” says Rhonda Collins, Founder and CEO of TOYCYCLE. “We had no more use for the cradles after about five months, but we did need cribs at that point. The bouncers and swings were replaced by jumperoos around 7 months,” says Collins. “And of course, the clothing and the toys – it all has to be swapped out every few months in the early years.”
