Mary Meyer Baby Toys Mary Meyer combines passion, economic need, and the tools to survive the great depression since 1933 to create a magnificent toy company that remains thriving for over 80 years!

After 10 years of successful business, Mary, her husband Hans, and the little toy company they built left the Depression and New York behind and moved north to Vermont.

In a current time frame, Mary Meyer was one of the last American stuffed toy companies to move production overseas, a decision that saved and changed the company. This move allowed them to use a great variety of quality fabrics, implement excellent safety standards, and to sell toys at a price everyone can afford.

Vermont remains home to our talented artists, and where they "draw with their eyes". Our designers work inside the original toy shop in Vermont and we like to think that some of the karma of our rich past makes it into every toy we design.
