What is Little Tikes?
Little Tikes is a toy brand that is now manufactured by MGA Entertainment. The brand was first founded in the late 1960’s by a plastics engineer who developed toys from high-impact polyethylene, a type of plastic that is break resistant. Known for its durable and safe plastic toys that are often cast in bright colors, Little Tikes helps to create memories while taking kids on big adventures in pretend play. Popular toys from this manufacturer include ride-on toys, playhouses, and outdoor toys, but have expanded over the years to include smaller toys that are for indoor use. Motor skills, both fine and gross motor, and helping kids to develop all levels of coordination are a big part this company. Along with fun of course!

We all grew up with our own toys with the Little Tikes logo. Always a great investment because the toy last for years and years, generations have been playing with the reds cars with the yellow roof. Here are just a few of the old school toys that you probably remember from your own childhood:
Cozy Coupe: This toy car made it’s debut in 1979. It’s a foot power ride-one that has a steering wheel, pretend ignition switch, high seat, doors that open and close, a horn that goes beep, and provides hours of fun.

It’s geared for young children age 18 months to 6 years, so you will get many years out of this one. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use and always a big hit for young children. This
Turtle Sandbox: This blast from the past has been around since the late 1970’s and while changes have been made over time, the main features of the sandbox have remained the same. The sandbox looks like a giant green turtle with a removeable lid shaped like a shell (to cover and protect the sand from rain) and two built in seats.
Plastic Rocking Horse: The Little Tikes Rocking Horse has been enjoyed by generations. Sold in bright, fun colors and sometimes even in different animals, it features a simple design that promotes imaginative play, balance, and coordination all at the same time. A tall back and wide base (to help prevent tipping over) makes this rocking horse a favorite among parents.
