Our Story
Where Faith Met Play
Imagine This
It's 7pm on a Tuesday
Bath time is over, pajamas are on, and you're settling in for bedtime stories with your little one. You open their favorite book about trucks or princesses, and hopefully the Bible, and suddenly you realize...
when was the last time we talked about God today?
You love Jesus
Your child is the most precious gift He's given you.
But somehow, between diaper changes, snack time, and the beautiful chaos of raising little ones, those intentional moments of faith-building seem to slip away.
We've been there too.
The Heart
Behind Manger Toys
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 stopped us in our tracks one day:
"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
When you sit at home. That's where life happens. That's where your toddler builds towers, where your preschooler serves you pretend tea, where siblings create elaborate worlds with their toys.
What if those ordinary moments could become extraordinary opportunities for discipleship?
The Problem We Discovered
Christian parents today face a unique challenge. We're surrounded by amazing educational toys that teach colors, shapes, and problem-solving.
But where are the toys that naturally weave biblical truth into play? Where are the tools that make those Deuteronomy 6 conversations feel natural, not forced?
We searched toy stores and found a lot of nativity sets. There were minimal toys that could teach deep Biblical truth's like love, imago dei, etc.
Why shouldn't toys that point to Jesus be just as captivating, just as well-made, just as developmentally rich as other toys?
Our Mission Was Born
Manger Toys exists because we believe every Christian parent deserves tools that make discipleship at home or even on the go easy, all while meeting children in what they enjoy doing.
When your child stacks our "God's Banner" rainbow, they're not just learning colors, they're holding God's promise. It's an opportunity to teach about covenant.
When they play with our "Fruit of the Holy Spirit" cutting set, they're not just developing fine motor skills, they're discovering what love, joy, and patience look like in everyday life.
When they snuggle with our "Lion of Judah" rattle maybe discipleship is starting for you, and you realize that this is the opportunity that I have to pray over my child.
The Transformation We're Seeing
Parents tell us these toys have changed their homes:
"As a Christian mom I really enjoy partnering with a company that shares my values, I'm thrilled to have found them. The learning material is very encouraging."
"This toy is so good. So education and leaves so much room for teaching. And learning. Very cute and well made. My kids are loving it and I’m excited to get some feedback on it from our Sunday school kiddos."
"I used to stress about finding time for family devotions. Now, faith conversations happen naturally while we play."
This Is Why We Do What We Do
Because faith comes by hearing and research confirms that children hear best through play.
Because these commandments should be on our hearts and toys touch hearts in ways sermons sometimes can't.
Because impressing truth on our children doesn't have to be one more thing on your overwhelming parenting to-do list, it can be the most joyful part of your day.
We're not just making toys. We're creating tools that help you fulfill the greatest calling of parenthood: raising children who know and love Jesus.
Every block stacked, every pretend meal served, every cuddle with a soft rattle becomes a chance to whisper truth into little hearts.
