The Toy Association

Trade groups keep entire industries moving. The Toy Association does exactly that for playthings—manufacturers, designers, and retailers all rely on its guidance. Based in Manhattan, it shapes safety standards, hosts trade events, and advocates for policies that affect anyone who makes or sells toys.

You’ll find their office at 1375 Broadway, New York, NY 10018, just steps from the garment district’s energy. While the building itself blends into the Midtown skyline, the work happening inside influences toy shelves worldwide. Members can access market research, export assistance, and networking opportunities that aren’t available elsewhere.

Need specifics on upcoming trade shows or compliance updates? Give them a call at (212) 675-1141—someone there can point you to the right resources. The association also publishes reports on industry trends, which can be useful whether you’re launching a new product or just curious about what’s next in play.

For directions or last-minute details, check their map listing. It’s a quick way to confirm transit options or nearby landmarks before heading over.
