What Makes the Fisher Price Company And Its Products So Special
In the 1950s the company decided that plastic was the way to go, to make even more colorful, sturdy and affordable toys.
With the change of material from wood and metal to molded plastic, the company really allowed their creative juices to flow and began developing toys that would one day become an integral part of childhood for most families.
Simple and Fun Developmental Toys
The Fisher Price company (now a subsidiary of Mattel) has always believed that toys for infants should be fun, while helping them to develop their gross or fine motor skills.
From their colorful rock a stack, snap lock beads and shape sorter toys that help children develop their hand-eye coordination as well as can help children start identifying their colors and even counting with parental guidance, to their corn popper, which encourages children to walk.
The company has made simple toys that children and parents both love.
Imaginative Play
Fisher Price also makes a number of fun and exciting imaginative play toys for kids from their out door play houses to their castles, dragons and other fun toys.
Their toddler and baby playground equipment encourages a ton of creative play, while being the right size for those smaller legs to be able to climb, slide and simply have fun on.
Their bubble mower, vacuum cleaners and wagons allow children to replica what their parents do, or to play on their own using these tools and their imagination for a variety of adventures limited only by their imagination.
Sturdy and Durable
Fisher Price toys are known to be sturdy and durable, often being passed down from child to child and still growing strong.
Often times a child has owned one of this company’s toys for several years and then that toy has been sold or passed on to other family members to be used again and again.
Fisher Price Toy Safety
One of the things that make the Fisher Price Company and their products so special is, the company’s concern for the children who receive their products.
When a problem arose with some of the company’s products due to lead paint and small pieces that posed choking and other hazards to children, the company instantly recalled thousands of it’s products dating back several years to cover toys being used by children other than the initial children the toys were purchased for.
As painful as the process was, and as much revenue as the company lost, they put the safety of children first.
While most of the Fisher Price toys manufactured after the 1970s are perfectly safe, the company urges their customers to check the toy recall sites, in order to keep abreast of toys from Fisher Price and other companies that may not be safe for your child.
Quite simply, Fisher Price put children and their families first when providing toys for infants, and pre-schoolers.
