Our Story

Creating the best for children everywhere!

Petra Toys, Inc. is proud to call Phillipsburg, New Jersey, home.

Founded in 1987, we have been a dedicated wholesale distributor of nostalgic toys, driven by our belief that childhood is a unique and magical time. Our toys spark imagination, foster learning, and encourage creativity, making every moment of play special.

We handpick most of our toys from the Czech Republic with love and care. Safety, durability, cultural heritage, and the use of non-toxic materials are at the heart of everything we do. We stand by the quality of every toy we offer.

Your satisfaction means the world to us. We offer only the toys we trust and love ourselves, always at fair prices. Hearing "We love your toys!" inspires us to keep striving for excellence.

Sincerely,

Yvette Sommer-Pechanec
Founder

Going Back to Basics

Simple play is essential for healthy growth, fueling a child's social, emotional, and physical development.

Children thrive when they stay active and curious, and our back-to-basics toys help meet these needs. Packed with playful energy and a touch of nostalgia, our toys offer more than just fun—they spark discovery. We’re sure that once your kids experience our toys, they’ll find new favorites to treasure.

Partner In Charity

Our toys are not only special; they also contribute to meaningful causes in our community.

We Give Back

Every purchase helps us support our non-profit initiative dedicated to making a positive impact.

Traditional toys bring joy on their own, but with Petra Toys, they also become a force for good. Every time you purchase one of our toys, you're not only getting a special, handcrafted product—you’re also contributing to keeping animals healthy and happy through a non-profit project we've founded. It’s play with a purpose!
