About Us

“When the fun goes out of play, most often so does the learning.”
– Joanne E. Oppenheim

At Educational Toys Planet we are thrilled to provide the tools you need to bring fun and learning into the lives of the important children in your life! Every day we help little eyes sparkle, little hands play, and growing brains reach for their full potential. This is our mission and our passion. Some years ago, when we looked at the toy market, we recognized an opportunity created by the gap between what big corporations were offering and what we were looking for as parents and educators.

Some years ago, when we looked at the toy market, we recognized an opportunity created by the gap between what big corporations were offering and what we were looking for as parents and educators. 

As Parents, we wanted toys, games science kits and crafts that our children would love and enjoy that would also serve to enrich their minds and develop their skills.

As Educators, we wanted toys that would be appropriate for the classroom and enhance learning while keeping children engaged and happy.

As Entrepreneurs, we saw an opportunity to bring quality toys and games, rich with benefits, to the people who needed them.

As Citizens of the Planet we are striving to provide the best selection, the best deals and the best customer service humanly possible. Our customer service, product selection website ease of use has been rated within top 3 in the industry the last 3 years in a row by independent reviewers. 

In 2002 we founded Educational Toys Planet to provide a source of toys designed to bring joy to children while enhancing their ability to think, analyze, and create. We hand-pick every item on our site to help develop skills from early manipulation for babies to more advanced science skills for older children. 

All toys teach. The real question is what lesson a child is learning. Our toys help teach children to observe, be active, and to dream. They also bring adults the chance to play with the important little ones in their life – laughing, loving, and remembering the unbridled joy of childhood.

As parents, educators, and entrepreneurs – we saw a need.
