We at Discovery Toys believe in the power of PLAY. It is proven that learning and interaction through play for children teaches lifelong skills preparing their brains for adulthood. We are passionate about providing premium quality, kid-powered learning products for children as they learn and grow through play.

For over 36 years, Discovery Toys has provided such products. One of our exclusive products, Marbleworks®, has been a top favorite for many generations. You may even remember playing with this super fun, engaging, raceway set as a child!
