About Creativity For Kids..

In 1976 Phyllis Brody and Evelyn Greenwald, the founders of Creativity for Kids, had a dream that their unique concept of enriching, open-ended creative activities would inspire children all around the world. With hard work, a dedicated mission and respected friendships along the way, their dream became reality.

Today the Creativity for Kids Brand has grown into a global manufacturing and distribution business reaching children in more than 35 countries. Their headquarters in Valley View, Ohio located just 20 minutes South East of Downtown Cleveland, remains true to its original roots. Their family (A.K.A. employees) continues to grow and currently consists of 70 members in the US, each contributing their own unique spirit to the brand.

True to Phyllis and Evelyn’s original dream that launched Creativity for Kids and the mission that guides them, they look forward to the future of enriching the lives of children everywhere with fun and constructive experiences that stimulate and encourage their natural creativity.

Social Responsibility..

Faber-Castell manufacturing partners that produce and assemble Creativity for Kids activity kits are ICTI certified. ICTI stands for the International Council of Toy Industries and consists of toy trade associations from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. The health and safety of children throughout the world is the driving force behind ICTI, which promotes international toy safety standards and a responsible attitude to advertising and marketing to children.

Environmental Policy..

Creativity for Kids kits packaging is made of recycled cardboard, soy-based inks are used for printing, and their instructions are printed on recycled paper. They recently eliminated the use of shrink wrap on all of their packaging which significantly reduced their use of plastics. They continue to investigate ways to leave a smaller footprint on the environment.

Faber-Castell has been a world leader in environmental stewardship.

* In the early 1980’s, Faber-Castell established a re-forestation program for the production of pencils.
o About 25,000 acres in size, this forest is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and approximately 1 Million seedlings per year are planted there.
o 148 rare birds and 19 mammal species live in Faber-Castell forests.
o Greenpeace, the environmental activist group, commissioned pencils made from Faber-Castell’s re-forested wood.
* Faber-Castell was the first to develop and use water-based varnish on its pencils.
* 100% of all Faber-Castell erasers are PVC and latex free.
* Faber-Castell literature is printed on post-consumer recycled paper or FSC certified paper, which is made from paper harvested from managed forests.
At Faber-Castell USA headquarters, they recycle 22 tons of cardboard and 4 tons of office paper annually.
