Kriz's Toy Creations was started as a family operation. Our lead craftsman, Michael Kriz, saw that the toys being played with were really fragile and broke relatively easily. He sought a more durable alternative for his own children. Similarly he noticed that often times his three daughters wanted the same toy, but he knew that buying three of the same toy was a recipe for disaster. So he sought after unique toys but toys that were still relatively similar. He began making unique yet similarly designed toys. Each toy comes with its own unique combination of woods so the toy is as unique as the child that plays with it.
Since the creation of the company several additional family members have joined the staff. Sarah Kriz joined the staff as the head accountant and financial advisor of the company. Judith Kriz joined the staff as the lead promoter. Nichole Kriz joined the staff as the social media and online presence coordinator.
