Creativity for Kids activity kits were the very first open-ended craft toys introduced to the specialty toy industry! Before Phyllis and Evelyn launched Creativity for Kids on the national scene at Toy Fair in 1978, no products existed that provided children with the opportunity for open-ended creative expression. The only products on the market were paint by number craft kits that gave children unimaginative and boring carbon copy projects. Creativity for Kids was first to implement the idea that if given a few tools and general instructions on what to do, kids will create what they are inspired by and not what they are told to make. We were the only company in the “Creative Activities" product category which was actually created by Playthings Magazine in order to find a place for our unique products.

Faber-Castell produces 2 billion graphite and colored pencils combined world-wide annually. If you put those pencils end to end, they would circle the earth 8 times! If each pencil wrote 1 mile of line, that line would stretch from the earth to the sun and back over 4 times!
