Our Story

the upbounders difference
Upbounders® was founded on creating quality toys that offer children the opportunity to see themselves and the wonderful facets of the everyday world reflected in their playthings. Our product lines support joyful learning through play and our signature collections showcase various features of the everyday world that foster envisioning.
What is envisioning?
At Upbounders® we understand the importance of imagination and focus on envisioning. Envisioning is the ability to picture a future outcome or dream/wish/hope/goal and is vital for a child’s development and sense of self and community belonging. Upbounders® designs intentionally depict everyday experiences, hobbies, places, careers and more to foster a child’s connection with the adult world around them.
