We are now sold in over 60 countries, have won numerous awards and have become a recognized and trusted name in the toy industry. Steven Kay started designing toys when he was 6 yrs old. With formal training in photography, sculpture and design, he founded The Orb Factory in 1991. The company’s first line was based around the Celestial Orb, a transforming hand-held widget made from wire. Steve knows that he has made it this far by focusing on the 2 most important things: a fun and rewarding play experience for kids, and the best customer service in the industry Our kits are easy to use, mess-free, and give amazing results every time. Our best selling line, Sticky Mosaics®, allow kids to peel and stick foam and jewel tiles to create mosaic masterpieces that are ready for display. My First Sticky Mosaics® brings crafting to children 3+ with Big Pieces for Little Fingers®. Curiosity Kits® explores unique play concepts and fresh ideas. Our toys are both imaginative and educational and have been used as learning tools in classrooms around the world. As a creative toy manufacturer, The Orb Factory prides itself on creative designs, high quality products, and outstanding customer service. This allows the company to keep focusing on those aspects that are the most important. For example, every product has an educational component to it. As a result, many have been recognized as useful learning tools in the classroom. For items that are made by sub-contracted manufacturers, The Orb Factory employees are involved in the production decisions and quality control process. The Orb Factory's most recent success is their 3D PlushCraft® (http://www.plush-craft.com/Products/3D-PlushCraft ) line of products. Using the patented play concept developed for their PlushCraft® line, children use a stylus to punch fabric pieces into a 3D mold to create their very own plushy pal! We believe in the power of play. We strive to produce toys the not only stimulate a child’s mind, but their creativity as well. Our kits allow children to lose themselves in a world of magic, imagination and artistic freedom. "Because of the simple design and non-reliance on instructions, Orb’s products are easier for children to decipher what to do on their own. Learning skills unknowingly also come into play, such as hand-and-eye coordination as well as number and pattern recognition, making learning such skills fun for a child." - Toys and Entertainment Magazine, www.anbmedia.com/ "The Sticky Mosaic kits (3) from Orb Factory do really well for us. Parents like them because they’re not messy, and kids are totally fascinated by them. The feedback we get from parents is that they keep kids busy and quiet for hours." -Shawnta Ray of Once Upon a Toy in Edwardsville, Illinois Orb Factory has won numerous awards. They have been featured on ''The View'' and ''The Today Show''. ==References== * http://www.orbfactory.com/About-Us/Who-We-Are * http://greenjain.impactworkshop.ca/press_releases/view/6 * http://www.toydirectory.com/monthly/article.asp?id=4038 * http://www.orbfactory.com/Brands * http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/745525-orb-factory-bounces-one-out-of-the-park 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Orb Factory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
