Little Tikes
There are
many toy companies in the United States, but
there is one that tends to stand out above
all the rest. That would be the Little Tikes
company, which is based in Hudson, Ohio.
Though it is based in Ohio, you will also
find that it has facilities in Asia and
Europe, so it has done a great job of
creating a worldwide influence. |
|
The company was founded in 1969 by Thomas G Murdough. He
built his company in Aurora Ohio, and in 1984 Rubbermaid
bought it. In 1989, Murdough left the company and
started his own competing toy company. His goal is to
compete with Little Tikes, much to the surprise of
everyone who has kept an eye on the company.
Unlike most other toy companies, Little Tikes
specializes in toys for children under the age of six.
This means that they will have things like plastic
castles, play sets, and even stove sets. Naturally none
of the stove sets actually work, but they are fun for
children to play with.
Here are a few of the items that Little Tikes currently
offers:
2-in-1 Dollhouse Playhouse: For younger girls this is a
great addition to a play room. The dollhouse is actually
connected to a playhouse which swings open, and it can
even be taken off of the playhouse entirely. The entire
thing is Victorian style and has a fold-out whirlpool
tub.
This even has a front porch which can be enjoyed, along
with drawers and a working doorbell. For those who are a
little more imaginative, there is a pretend phone and
phone holder.
Super Chef Kitchen: For the aspiring chef, this is a
great buy. It features a load of simulated functions.
From the sound of the burner, to the clicking of the
knob above the oven door. Your little 'tike' will feel
right at home and learn the ins and outs of a real
kitchen. This is just one of many great toys that Little
Tikes manufactures.
Little Tikes offers several more toys, and having been
around since the late sixties, it shows no signs of
slowing down or burning out. One thing to note is that
it's playsets are nowhere near cheap. You can expect to
pay up to $150 for some of them, but they also have a
reputation for making solid toys. When you're buying a
playset or toy for your child you're going to want it to
last for as long as possible. You don't know if you can
expect that from other toy makers, but you know that you
can expect it from Little Tikes! So next time you go
shopping for your child, look for the Little Tikes logo.

Little Tikes Outdoor Toys
As a parent you want to purchase the perfect
outdoor toys for your child, but too many
times you have purchased something that
looks great, only to get it home and
assembled and find out that it lacks the
durability for the rough and tumble play
most children seem to enjoy.
|
|
|
Even
worse, that outside play set that looked so harmless
in the store turns out to have all kinds of sharp
edges that are decidedly unfriendly to children. If
you have experienced either of these problems or are
simply looking for a safe, dependable outdoor toy
for your child to enjoy then a Little Tike toy might
be just what you are looking for.
Toys For Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers
Little Tikes toys come in a wide range of choices.
No matter what your child enjoys doing out of doors,
there is a toy that will offer him hours of
entertainment and enjoyment. If your child like
riding and pretending to drive you can choose from
their little red and yellow coupe, or a truck. There
are also wagons and a fantastic trike that will grow
with your child from infancy until he or she is
ready for that two wheeler.
The trike is designed with babies and small children
in mind, having a parents push handle, and a sun
shielding umbrella, as well as a infant strap for
the seat As the child grows the peddles will allow
him to propel himself just like a regular trike.
This combination allows you to save money as you can
use the trike just like an infant stroller while
your child is young, then your child can use it
himself until he has grown into a two wheel bike.
There are also a host of playhouses and castles that
your child can use from age one to six or seven,
picnic tables, and sand and water tables, basketball
hoops, and individual slides, teeter totters and
other toys for the preschoolers.
Toys For Children 2 to 11
Both young children and older children can enjoy
building with the giant waffle blocks, constructing
their own play houses and other building projects,
or run through the sprinklers shooting out from the
huge beach ball.
The Arcadia II Ultimate playground is designed for
children ranging from ages starting at about 2 or 3
to eleven. This means your child will get 8 or 9
years of very active play before outgrowing this
toy.
The best thing about Little Tike toys is that they
are durable and will last forever. Most of the toys
will remain in excellent condition and can be resold
easily when your child outgrows it. Considering the
years of play your own child will enjoy and the
resale value of this durable equipment it is one of
the best deals around for both you and your child.
What's more these toys are remarkably safe having no
sharp corners small children can injure themselves
on.
When you consider these toys durability, safety, and
ability to grow with your child, it is easy to see
why more and more parents are choosing Little Tyke
outdoor toys for their infants and small children.

Little Tikes Outdoor Toys: Firing Your
Child's Imagination
As parents we want our children to enjoy
being out of doors, to want to spend time in
the fresh air and sunshine, and to have fun.
In the effort to encourage our children to
play outside we often resort to purchasing
the most expensive and newest fads in out
door toys and play sets, thinking if one
swing is good three is better. |
|
What we
tend to forget, is that children have the most fun with
simple toys that can fire their imagination and lend
themselves to a host of imaginative play settings. The
makers of Little Tike toys have designed their outside
play equipment with just that imagination in mind.
While we may look at a playhouse and see just a
playhouse, our child will look at the same place house
and will see Snow White's cottage, a place to hold tea
parties, a outlaw hideaway, a cave where they can fight
dragons, or a castle of old. It will become a
restaurant, a grocery store, and perhaps even a filling
station.
Little Tike has an entire lineup of playhouses that
range from a simple country cottage to a castle, each
playhouse had lots of features that will give your child
hours of imaginative play. These playhouses are sturdy
and safe and will last your child until he is 6 or 7
years old. They provide him with his own space out of
doors to keep his treasures and a place to entertain
friends.
If it is playground equipment your are looking for,
choosing one of the Little Tike climb and play
playgrounds with a tower and a sandbox underneath, will
not only give him a place to swing, slide and build mud
pies, but will provide him with mountains to climb, his
own space station or fire tower, a place to dig for
buried treasure or pan for gold, or simply a chance to
view his world from a different point of view.
The sand and water tables can allow him to build great
cities, and to sail a fleet of boats against the enemy.
They can allow him to play with his favorite rubber duck
or to send a skin diver to the ocean floor in search of
lost treasure.
Whether your child is playing alone or with neighbours
and friends, he will never run out of things to do with
an outdoor toy or play set from little tikes. Nor will
you hear him complain he is bored. There are two many
world's to discover and conquer, and adventures that
await each and every day.
Your child will not only be exploring his world but the
world of his imagination. What's more he will be doing
it from the safety of his own back yard with toys that
are sturdy, dependable, and will grow with your child's
changing needs.
Little Tikes outdoor toys are simply the most wonderful
toys to fire your child's imagination and keep him
entertained for years to come. Opening entire new worlds
and perhaps galaxies for him to explore. |

Think Little Tikes
When you think of American toy makers, what
is the first name you think of? There might
be a few that come to mind, but when you are
talking about children under the age of six,
you probably think of Little Tikes. |
|
This
is a company that has been around since the year 1969,
having been founded by Thomas Murdough. It was seated in
Aurora Ohio, and was eventually bought by Rubbermaid.
These days Little Tikes is one of the most popular toy
makers in the Country, if not the world. They have a
reputation for making solid products, which is something
that many other toy makers cannot claim. On top of that,
they make a huge line of toys which are way too many to
list in a single article. But let's take a look at a few
of them so you can get an idea of what they're making
these days.
Classic Castle: This is one of the most popular playsets
made by Little Tikes to date. It is an actual castle
design which resembles a European design. It has a
secret door through the fireplace, which allows the
children to crawl in and out at their leisure. If that's
not fast enough then they can always use the built in
slide. This playset great for anyone between the ages of
two and six.
Inside/Outside Cook 'n Grill: Some kids want to cook
before their time, so why not let them get a bit of
practice in right now? This kitchen provides a coffee
pot with disappearing coffee for realistic affect, as
well as a stove that makes electric sounds. It also
comes complete with all the kitchen appliances such as a
sink and dishwasher.
The stove features mock fabric flames, and the set comes
with a chef hat. Kids will absolutely love this setup as
it permits them to try out the joys of working in the
kitchen without the danger associated with it.
Jump 'n Double Slide Bouncer: No one can deny that kids
need their exercise, and this great bouncer will let
them have all they can handle. It features a mesh wall
that keeps them from falling off, and it is made of a
durable material that will not puncture easily. When all
is said and done, it can be deflated and stored easily.
Little Tikes makes some of the best toys for younger
children. When shopping for your child you should really
consider buying from them. They are a solid brand that
has been around for many years. In all honesty, it's
hard to go wrong with a company that has been around for
so many years, and has produced so many quality
products. So next time you go shopping, think Little
Times and watch your children jump for joy.
