Thinking Toys was established in 2004, with the aim of increasing the awareness of a range of products that can bring specific benefit to children with special needs or learning difficulties.

It is a family business set up by Aine and Michael and was inspired by their eldest child Ailis (now 23), who has Sturge Weber Syndrome. She had major brain surgery when she was 2 years old. The frustration and difficulties endured in trying to source suitable products that would assist in her development was a catalyst in deciding to try and reduce this frustration for other parents in similar situations.

As parents who have “been there and bought the tee-shirt”, they have a few simple philosophies that Thinking Toys aims to achieve in their aspiration of creating a One Stop Shop for Special Needs Toys and small scale specialist equipment in Ireland, namely:

  • Most extensive range of products available in Ireland (over 4,000 products available on the website)
  • Most competitive pricing (please compare!)
  • Products in stock and available for immediate shipping (not easy with a range of over 4,000 products, but we succeed most of the time)
  • To constantly liaise with therapists, parents and children to identify gaps in the product range and then strive to fill them (the range is constantly evolving for example they have recently added the Adult Appropriate section)
  • Every product has as much potential importance as the next (the Thinking Toys team invest as much time and care in sourcing and promoting a €1 whistle as they do a €100 weighted product or a €800 bubble tube)

Hopefully, the website assists in increasing awareness of the types of products that are available and the areas in which they can potentially make a difference.
