Why Parents Love Step2 Toys for Kids
When it comes to choosing toys for children, parents prioritize safety, durability, and engaging play experiences. At Step2, we’re dedicated to creating toys for kids that inspire positive experiences and support childhood development through imaginative play. Based in Ohio, we have been at the forefront of toy innovation for decades. Let's explore what makes Step2 the brand families turn to for fun and long-lasting play options.
What Makes Step2 Toys So Special?
Durable & Long-Lasting Toys For Kids
At Step2, durability isn’t just a feature – it’s a promise. Unlike some brands that focus on trendy designs, we emphasize sturdy, weather-resistant plastic that can withstand hours of play, both indoors and outdoors. Whether it's a playhouse, water table, or ride-on toy, all of our products are built to endure the rough-and-tumble nature of childhood. Many parents appreciate that our toddler toys can be passed down to younger siblings or kept for future playdates, making them a valuable long-term investment.
Encourages Imaginative & Active Play
We are known for creating toys that foster creativity, imagination, and active play. From play kitchens to ride-on toys to outdoor playsets, each product is designed to engage children in ways that promote both fun and learning. Many of our toys are multi-functional, encouraging kids to explore different ways to interact with them.
For example, the Adventure Camper Playhouse™ allows children to engage in pretend camping, cooking, and social interaction, all while being sturdy enough for outdoor conditions. Toys like these help children develop important social and motor skills while keeping playtime exciting.
Commitment to Safety
Safety is our top priority. We design all our kids toys and products to meet or exceed U.S. safety standards, including ASTM and CPSIA certifications. To ensure compliance, we conduct in-house safety tests and regularly submit product samples to independent, accredited labs for thorough testing. Before shipping, a leading global lab also assesses our products to confirm they meet our strict quality and safety standards. If any component falls short, it won’t be shipped. From smooth edges to sturdy construction, every detail is carefully crafted to keep children safe during playtime, giving parents peace of mind.
Proudly Made by Families for Families
We take pride in our dedicated workforce, which includes parents, grandparents, and family members who understand the importance of creating safe and engaging toys for kids. With two large manufacturing plants in Streetsboro and Perrysville, Ohio, we manufacture many of our products right here in the USA with US and imported parts. Our kids toys are available through select retailers in the U.S., Canada, and over 70 other countries, making us a trusted name in the industry.
Award-Winning Toddler Toys
Over the years, we have received numerous awards and accolades for our innovative toy designs. Many of our products have been featured in parenting magazines and recognized for their functionality and educational value. Whether it’s water tables or ride-on toys, parents and children alike continue to love what we create.

My little boy loves this!
We gave this to our 22-month-old son as an early Christmas present and he is in love with it! We’ve played for hours pretending to saw the wood in half, drill holes in the wood pieces, hammer pieces together, use the working handheld drill to screw pieces together/to the bench, he even loves to pretend to wash his hands in the sink! The list goes on. Step 2 is a great company with the child in mind. – Katcm, Pro Play Workshop & Utility Bench™
