Since the company’s founding 30 years ago, Melissa & Doug has consistently delivered innovative products that inspire open-ended thinking, encourage kids to see new possibilities, and offer Countless Ways to Play. It’s part of a bigger vision to Take Back Childhood. Because by giving children a true childhood with the space and freedom to explore their world, we give them a path to realizing their full potential! Led by its namesake co-founders, the brand’s headquarters are in Wilton, Connecticut, with offices in New York City and various other locations across the globe. Today, the brand has become one of the most trusted names in children’s products with more than 2,000 toys, crafts, and games that are designed in-house and available in more than 100 countries. HOW WE PLAY…AT WORK: • Imagine in our workplace of wonder! Imagine the possibilities, asking “What if…?” We recognize that, just as there are countless ways to play, there are countless ways to work. • Create playful productivity! In our playful environment we look at accomplishments differently and understand that creativity allows for variations in the path to achieve each person’s goal. • Explore empowerment and discovery! We believe real learning and growth happens when we have the time and space to explore our world, pursue our passions, and follow our curiosity. • Connect to our collaborative community! We treat people as we would want to be treated – with honesty, authenticity, and respect. • Think with ingenuity and originality! We see opportunities in problems and pride ourselves on doing things differently, continually thinking about why we are here and what it means to inspire. Learn more at MelissaAndDoug.com.

What we do: Peaceable Kingdom creates award-winning games and gifts that inspire cooperation and cultivate kindness – because kids that play well together play well in the world. What we believe: We believe in slowing down and putting our screens aside so we can play with our kids, in spending time with friends and in connecting with family. We believe that doing this for even a little bit every day nourishes our spirit. We believe that kids shine when kindness, courage, and connection are part of their DNA, when they reach out to someone who is sad, or can get up after a tumble, or give you an unexpected hug. We believe in family and community, by being a family-owned, family-first company that has proudly called Berkeley, California, home for over 30 years. We believe that honesty really is the best policy, no matter what. We believe in cooperation in all its forms, with each other as employees, with the inventors, artists, manufacturers, and retailers who make up our larger family, and with our planet. We believe that when play comes from the heart and feeds the soul, a more peaceable kingdom really is possible. Please check our LinkedIn profile for current open positions.
