CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y. and LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Kids Group, a leader in the innovation of kids' toys, is thrilled to announce a partnership with the well-loved Little Tikes^® brand to bring to market a brand-new line of classic wooden toys. Trusted by parents for more than 50 years, the Little Tikes name known for quality toys and backyard playsets will enter the wooden toy category soon to be loved by parents and kids alike.

"It's an honor for Creative Kids to be on this road with Little Tikes in introducing a new player in the wooden toy category. We've worked hard to create interesting and dynamic toys and can't wait for them to be played with for years to come," said Creative Kids Chief Marketing Officer Daniel DeLapa.  

This partnership brings together teams from Creative Kids and Little Tikes, part of the MGA Entertainment family of brands, in collaboration on the conceptualization, production, and market release. Together, more than 15 products are in the making including, but not limited to:

• Puzzles
• Music play sets
• Full-sized kitchens
• Vehicles
• Pretend play
• Montessori-style toy sets

Kids from six months to six years old will be able to engage, interact with, and experience quality wooden toys that meet property standards and testing by both Creative Kids and Little Tikes. Challenging the wood toy category with an expansive product line, Creative Kids and Little Tikes will disrupt the norm with new options to Montessori and early learning.

"We can't wait to introduce our Little Tikes brand to new kids and parents through the wooden toy category and our partnership with Creative Kids Group," said MGA Entertainment Founder and Chief Executive Officer Isaac Larian. "The Little Tikes brand has stood for quality and high play value for more than 50 years and we look forward to continuing that tradition with this great collaboration."
