About us
Like many categories, the toy industry is comprised of companies big and small. Neither large nor small, we like to think of ourselves as "The Little Engine That Could". Begun as a literal garage start-up 14 years ago, Fat Brain Toys has boldly put itself "in front of the great heavy trains" in the toy industry, finding success by offering quality toys, innovative design, and what many customers have called "shocking" customer service. Our mission? To demonstrate to the American consumer that there is an "alternate universe" of toys available to them. With the decline of the local independent toy store, toy selection has become dramatically limited to only those products found on the shelves of the local big box retailer (think disposable-character-driven-plastic-violent-battery-operated toys). In contrast, Fat Brain Toys promotes design-centric toys and games that educate AND entertain. Fat Brain Toys is comprised of four distinct sales channels, each working in concert to bring back better toys & games to the American household. - Online Retail - Brick & Mortar Retail - Direct Mail Catalog - Wholesale But more than anything, we are still a small, family owned and operated business that takes great pride in our ability to offer exceptional service to each and every customer. We appreciate your interest in Fat Brain Toys!

The American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA) has revealed its Play Awards finalists, chosen from more than 600 products submitted across 18 categories. And we are thrilled announce that we are taking home awards in two of their categories! 😄 🎉 The Pretendables School Set was chosen as the winner in the Pretend Play category, and Air Toobz - previously a Toy of the Year Finalist at the New York Toy Fair - was recognized as the Play Award winner in the Science category. “We have always been huge proponents of the concept of toys being the tools of childhood,” explained Karen Carson, co-founder of Fat Brain Toys. “Both Pretendables and Air Toobz are perfect examples of toys that are not only fun but instrumental to a child’s development.” 🙌 Find both the Pretendables School Set and Air Toobz on our website here: https://lnkd.in/eAPasMyC
