With over a century in business, Playskool is one of the great old businesses serving the market of toys for young children. Originally named The Playskool Institute, the company was founded in 1901 by Lucille King who made wooden toys that were to be used as teaching aids to be used by children in a classroom setting. The company has been passed between several hands over the decades that it's been in operation, until it finally landed in the hands of America's oldest game manufacturer Milton Bradley in 1968, which became the property of Hasbro Inc. in 1984. Since its acquisition by Hasbro, Playskool has been in the habit of constantly refreshing its image, coming out with 9 new slogans over a period of 25 years. That's an average of a new slogan once every 3 years. The company's current slogan is "More Than Play", which it adopted in 2009.
Playskool manufactures several signature brands of toys which have become staples of childhood such as Play-Doh, Mr. Potato Head, Tinker Toys, Tonka, Lincoln Logs, Glo Friends, Weebles, Pipeworks, Transformers, Teletubbies, Arthur, Barney, Teddy Ruxpin, Baby Alive, My Little Pony and more. Playskool also manufactures products that are marketed towards new born and preschool aged children which are aimed at developing motor skills, such as the Kick Start Gym, the Tummy Time line, and the Step Start Walk 'n Ride. With so many great products available, it's really no wonder that Playskool has been able to keep running for over a century. What childhood would be complete without those colorful clay-like blobs of Play-Doh, the distinctive smell of which will instantly bring adults back to their childhood days. Or those childhood hours spent making funny faces with a Mr. Potato Head doll and giggling at the results. And what young boy hasn't had a Tonka Truck or played around building houses with Lincoln Logs? And what young girl doesn't want a My Little Pony doll or a Baby Alive doll to love and nurture?

And the company continues to expand and improve, and is now manufacturing a number of extra products under the Playskool name such as baby care supplies, books, children's clothing, and even video games. Playskool has even brokered a deal that allows it to manufacture products for the popular Nickelodeon cable television channel, which produces many very popular children's' television shows such as Spongebob Squarepants, The Fairly Odd Parents, Rugrats, All Grown Up!, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Winx Club, and more. The Playskool Company is one of those iconic companies that have affected all of our childhoods, as you would expect from a company that's been running a successful toy business for over a century. Few other children's toy companies match Playskool's age, and fewer still match its success.

The Playskool Victorian Play Around Doll House was released in 1991 and 1995. It is now discontinued but was very popular then and now. I want to know the differences between the two, or advice on how to find product information on discontinued toys from years ago.
Best Answer I know from what I have read everyone seems to really like this doll house. I did some research on ask.com and they seem to have a lot of information available, i found a picture of the 1991 house and the 1995 house so you can see the differences all though they look alike. http://www.picsearch.com/pictures/toys/toy%20characters/toy%20characters%20m-z/playskool.html and her is the question and answer section for you http://www.ask.com/faqcentral/PLAYSKOOL.html hope this helps
The dolls were 10 inches tall, were made in the 1990's by playskool.
Best Answer I Would say Try Ebay They Have About Everything Good Luck!
I just noticed at CVS they have Playskool diapers, but we're scared to try them. We either use Pampers or Huggies now. In your opinion, are they any good?
Best Answer I was sent a trial diaper, while I was pregnant. I never used it, but wasn't really impressed with the diaper, just looking at it. Seemed hard, and plasticy.
