About Melissa & Doug and Spin Master 

It all started in 1988 with a boy, a girl, and a dream to make meaningful toys that would inspire hands-on, imaginative play. From classic wooden toys to realistic pretend play sets, Melissa & Doug makes well-crafted toys that are developed with care to be passed down from generation to generation or shared family to family. Whether it’s creating high-quality toys that are made to last, planting trees to restore the resources we use, or ensuring their products encourage open-ended play for all kinds of kids, Melissa & Doug is on a journey to make the world a better, more sustainable place. While the Company approaches $1 billion at retail annually, the quality of every toy, the experience of every child, and the trust of every parent remains at the center of everything the Company does.
