“We’re proud to build upon our successful partnership with Stanley Black and Decker and bring the Stanley Jr. Pretend Play line to kids across Europe,” said Ami Rosenfeld, CEO of Red Toolbox. “Expanding our license to include the roleplay category in Europe allows us to share the joy of discovery and learning with even more children. Europe represents one of the largest and most dynamic toy markets globally, valued for its emphasis on quality and educational products. This expansion positions Red Toolbox to tap into growing trends in experiential play, strengthening our footprint in a region where parents and educators are increasingly seeking toys that combine entertainment with meaningful skill-building.”
The European launch of the Stanley Jr. Pretend Play line will be supported by a robust marketing campaign, including collaborations with leading retailers, digital advertising, and engaging content designed to captivate both children and parents alike.
