Mindtwister USA works to play a part in the importance of family game nights. Its initial game, Pentago, originated in Sweden. Two professional skateboarders thought the unique game would also be popular in the United States. They formed Mindtwister and introduced Pentago to the U.S. in 2006. By 2011, they had sold over one million games worldwide.With Pentago as its base, Mindtwister USA has expanded to include an entire line of original games and toys. The company is rooted in the idea that playing fun games is essential to strong relationships with our family and friends.

Back in the day, when we wanted to unplug or our parents were out of batteries, we would reach for the simple things like a Rubik’s Cube or those little maze games with marbles. Once they were solved (or we gave up in frustration), there was little use for the toys and they were promptly put on a shelf in favor of the latest video game. What if you could offer your customers an alternative to video games, but with just as many player options? And kids six and up could be entertained for hours with minimal noise and no batteries necessary? You can, with Perplexus!

Introduce customers to Ben KaChoo, Harry Hiccers and Norman PhartEphant and watch their eyes light up! Fierce Fun plush toys and the accompanying Zoo Tales books use humor to offer gentle lessons about typical kid concerns like adjusting to a new school, coping with allergies, making friends and yes, what to say when a burp or other unplanned noise occurs. The toys are soft and squeezable, make up to six different sounds, and are made of all new, safe materials.

Flimsy plastic toys break so it’s no wonder shoppers are turned on by well-crafted, long-lasting wooden playthings. To show them what’s out there that both encourages creativity and lasts, turn to Discoveroo, an Australian company that aims to encourage kids’ imaginations, teach basic skills like colors and sorting, and engage young minds by showing how each toy works.
