years of love and joy! 90 Mary Meyer Toys is celebrating its 90th anniversary.

The story of Mary Meyer began in 1904. Mary Meyer was born Mary Lorang in New York City. When she was a little girl, she learned how to sew from her mother.

When Mary was 24, she met her husband, Hans Meyer, their first sales representative. They fell in love and, within a year, were married. Hans and Mary began to think about producing and selling Mary’s best toys. This was just about the time the Great Depression hit. No one thought this would be a good time to start a business, but this did not stop Mary or Hans. They created what is today, Mary Meyer.

Tired of city life Mary and Hans moved to rural Vermont. Many residents through the years and generations of families in the valley worked for the business, which led to Mary Meyer’s success.

Ninety years later, they are still a family-owned and run business that involves five generations of the family with four of Mary’s grandsons at the helm, located just a couple miles from the Meyer family home and original factory. The team are proud to continue Mary’s mission to make beautiful toys that continue to bring joy to children and families worldwide with care, quality, integrity, and love.

Their products are known for their exceptional quality and design, which have made them a favourite among parents and children alike.

Mary Meyer’s product range includes a variety of plush toys, such as stuffed animals and puppets. They also produce baby products like blankets, rattles, and teethers. All of their products are made with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that they are safe, durable, and enjoyable for children of all ages.

Another aspect that sets Mary Meyer apart is their focus on safety. All of their products undergo rigorous testing to ensure that they meet or exceed all safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This includes testing for choking hazards, flammability, and other potential hazards.

Mary Meyer’s products are designed with children in mind, incorporating features that stimulate their senses and encourage learning and development. For example, their plush toys often have different textures and materials, allowing children to explore and develop their sense of touch and some of their toys also come with interactive features, such as sound or motion, which help to keep children engaged and entertained.

Overall, Mary Meyer is a company that is dedicated to producing high-quality, safe, and sustainable products for children. Their commitment to excellence and their focus on child development have made them a trusted brand among parents and a favourite among children for over 90 years.
