| We are a family owned,
home-based business located in Northeast Florida. Our
son, Joseph (a.k.a. "Mr. Squeakers") is the
inspiration and reason for our company. Our idea began
as a desire and an opportunity for me to be home more
with my child. We also wanted to be a resource for other
parents - sharing unique, high-quality toys - and providing
an alternative to the mass-market toy stores.
After
our son was born, we did as most parents do - we bought
him all the latest toys. What we found was that he quickly
became bored with all those "interactive"
and battery-filled gadgets. We have since learned that
simple toys without defined purposes allow for open-ended
and creative play. Children already possess a natural
curiosity about the world around them. Open-ended play
encourages this curiosity and inspires the imagination
naturally. To do our part as parents we need to provide
a safe space for play, ample unscheduled time for play,
a variety of props and of course, plenty of interaction
from us. Our goal is to provide you with carefully selected,
natural products that nourish the desire for creative
exploration in all children. We think you'll agree -
toys that allow for a child's own input and imagination
are the ones that they will return to again and again.
Thank
you for supporting our family business.
Jodi,
Steven & Joseph |
