Company History

PEABODY'S Toys That Teach, Inc. was started in 1988. When my daughter, Victoria, was born, I decided to leave the corporate world and spend time in the world of motherhood. Over the next two and a half years, sons, Matthew and Christopher joined the family. I was looking for some way to help support our growing family and still have the flexibility of being a "Mom".

By this time, Victoria was old enough to be invited to her friend's birthday parties. She liked to make her own greeting cards, but it was always, "Mommie, where is the paper? Where are my crayons? What do I draw?" The ultimate was, "Do you have an envelope?" I ended up with a draw full of greeting cards we bought that no longer had envelopes! I thought it would be great if all the things she needed to make her special cards could be in one place - maybe some type of kit - maybe a card kit. And so, the KARD KIT™ Greeting Card Kit was born.

The plan was to offer the kits through ads run in various women's magazines. While the ads were expensive and the results in direct sales disappointing, we received inquiries from retailers asking about carrying the products in their stores. This changed our direction and lead us to developing, manufacturing, and providing kits to the specialty retail channels.

Over the next few years we added FACT PACK™ Collector Card Kits and POST-ABLE™ Stationery Kits to our family of educational kits. Our products can be found in the gift stores of many of our state and national parks, zoos, aquariums, museums, and tourist attractions. We have over 100 products available for general distribution and we make custom products for many special sites around the country.

All of our product are made here in the USA and we are proud to say we have been certified as a Women-Owned Business. We are proud of all our products and want to make sure our customers are very happy with their selection. Since our first day, we have offered a 100% return policy for anyone who is not completely satisfied with their purchase. I can count on one hand, and have several fingers left over, the number of products returned!
