Why limit arts and crafts to just glitter glue and construction paper? No need to, with a game-changer like Alex Toys around. Founded in 1986 by husband-and-wife team Nurit and Rick Admur, Alex Toys creates quality toys and art supplies meant to boost your little ones' creativity. Paintable jewelry, papier-mâché kits, fingertip crayons, foam bathtub stickers, needlepoint sets, and mini-looms are just a sampling of the 1000-plus toys offered by this imaginative label. Parenting associations and websites have honored Alex Toys many times for the quality and creativity of its products, including its scarf tie-dyeing kit and “shrinky dink” charm bracelet maker.
