About Think-a-lot Toys
We searched the world over for ideal collections of miniatures for the game and soon realized the enormous appeal of Think-ets. We then began the process of starting a company that would realize our dreams of taking it into the world. Think-ets is now being sold in hundreds of stores and catalogs across the nation. We are beginning international distribution as well. After the success of Think-ets, we began to expand our line of “toys and games that make you think.” In 2009, we added a fourth color to the Think-ets collection, a classic wooden puzzle using Think-ets trinkets as puzzle pieces, and a travel tray for holding the tiny trinkets. In 2010, we added themed Think-ets games and then expanded further by creating a deck of playing cards, StoryPlay Cards, and a deck of cards for personal exploration, The Insight Story Cards. We continue to work on new products each year that fit with our values of imaginative, open-ended play. In October 2012, Think-a-lot Toys entered a licensing agreement with Continuum Games so our line of storytelling and imagination games is being managed by them. We are excited for this change and opportunity for growth. If you have any ideas or feedback on who should carry our products, please contact us.
We are indebted to our original partners, Jeff Scott, Jerry Moore and Julie Lake, along with business maverick B.J. Dohrmann, who believed in our game and gave us the drive to turn something tiny in size into something big in scope. |
