Smart Toys . The Manhattan Company

/

The little company called Manhattan Toy recognizes that we are profoundly influenced by the toys we play with.

That in every little pair of hands lies not a marketing opportunity, but a chance to positively affect the future.

That having a sense of humor means the difference between enduring life, and enjoying it.  If it doesn't contain a wink and smile, it isn't worth making.

We remember every day that every invention on this earth, be it as complex as a Hadron collider, or as humble as Tupperware, as life-saving as penicillin or as life-altering as the Cronut, was dreamed into existence.

We remember that the most powerful thing any of us play with in this life is our imagination.

“You have to build up your confidence and build up your strength. Find a way to be tough because the world is like a very scary place and nothing comes easy. But you can do anything! That is the truth. You have to build up an armor in order to get there because the mountain is steep. People have climbed it before, so don’t give up (it’s a cheesy one-liner, but it’s the truth). ”

Super foods are a special category of foods found in nature. By definition they are calorie sparse and nutrient dense meaning they pack a lot of punch for their weight as far as goodness goes. They are superior sources of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients - nutrients we need but cannot make ourselves.
