About Us

Hello!

My name is Martina McConnon and I opened the Creative Toyshop in 2008 when our two children entered preschool. I've been loving this experience ever since! It's a lot of work and a lot of fun having your own business, and I enjoy the challenge. How did I get into this line of business? I grew up in Germany, and when my kids were little, I often researched German website for children's products, just to see things that I remembered from my childhood. One day, I actually found a new product line on a German website that I fell in love with: CALAFANT cardboard toys. Creative, unique and hands-on toys, crafts for both boys and girls! Creative Toyshop is now the exclusive US distributor and we've recently added another new line, YOUNG LEARNERS games.

I'm always looking for items that further childrens development through intelligent, creative and stimulating activities. It's so rewarding when you see your kids having fun while they express their creativity and thoughts, and to see them finding solutions on their own. My family and I try to live responsibly with as little waste and harm to the environment, and it's important to me to only offer products that fit that criteria.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll enjoy our selection. Please check back once in a while as we are always on the look-out for other cool products and add them to our store.

Best regards,

Martina McConnon
