But don’t just take our word for it—we’re a proud American toy company with a mission to do things a little differently. Whether you're a new parent or a seasoned pro, we're here to share the real real behind our products and why we’re committed to making safe, sustainable American toys that kids and parents love.
So, let us reintroduce ourselves. We’re Move2Play: a small, American-based business made up of play experts, parents, and innovators who all share one thing in common: a passion for making toys that get kids moving!
Our Story: From California Dreamers to Toy Makers
It all started in California, where two friends decided they wanted to make a difference in the toy industry. They wanted to create toys that didn’t just sit on shelves but encouraged active play, igniting movement and imagination in kids everywhere. Read more on their story here!
They understood that in today’s world, where overseas toy giants dominate the market, it’s hard to find a company that truly prioritizes the quality, safety, and innovation of the toys they create. And thus, Move2Play was born as a proudly American toy company that puts families first . They wanted to create toys that not only sparked joy but also helped kids develop healthy habits, all while being made right here in the United States.
What Makes Us Different: The Move2Play Promise
We Are 100% Transparent About Our Products
As an American toy company, we believe in transparency. Parents deserve to know exactly what’s in the toys their kids are playing with, and that’s why we go above and beyond to make sure our US-designed toys are safe, non-toxic and eco-friendly. Unlike other companies, we don’t hide behind vague labels or overseas manufacturing practices.
We’re proud to say that our toys contain no phthalates, no lead, and no other harmful chemicals. Every product we create exceeds safety standards, so you can feel confident knowing your little one is playing with an American toy that is both fun and safe.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness Matter to Us
In addition to our commitment to safety, we’re also dedicated to doing our part for the planet. That’s why the plush in our toys is made from recycled water bottles —yes, recycled water bottles! This means that not only are our toys soft, cuddly, and durable, but they also have a smaller environmental footprint than typical toys made from other materials.
