Beth Merrick with ZAZOU Communications said the company understands how technology is advancing but sees traditional play and screen time co-existing.
B次元官网网址淢astermind Toys has been in business over 30 years and we know the way kids play. There have always been alternatives to traditional toys. When video games first came out, there was a belief that would be the end of traditional toys,B次元官网网址� Merrick said.
B次元官网网址淢any kids spend a lot of time playing video games, yet the toy industry continues to grow every year. Plus, many families are concerned about kids spending too much B次元官网网址榮creen time,B次元官网网址� and have been pushing back by encouraging their kids to play with quality, educational toys and books. We believe that time spent on the screen does not exclude traditional play for kids, so we actually see the two co-existing in the market place B次元官网网址� and a number of our toys integrate traditional play with screens.B次元官网网址�
