Heritage & History
Alex Brands was founded in 1999 in Fairfield, New Jersey, with a mission to create arts, crafts, and activity products that inspire creativity in children. The ALEX brand became particularly strong in girls' arts and crafts, with kits for jewelry making, sewing, painting, and spa-themed activities that emphasized creative process over finished product. The Rub a Dub line extended creativity into bath time with soap crayons and bath paint.
Through acquisitions, Alex Brands expanded to include the Ideal brand — one of the oldest toy brands in America, with roots in the early twentieth century — bringing classic games and toys including yo-yos, tops, and jacks under the Alex Brands umbrella alongside its modern craft kit lines.
