Seattle- June 15, 2004

          With introduction of its innovative new toy and games service, Something for Kids just put fun into shopping with children.

Developed by Good Clean Fun, LLC, the Seattle-based service uses “toy stations” that allow businesses to offer safe, clean engaging toys that stay that way. When placed in a business, toy stations, which feature a central stand hung vertically with toys and disinfectant wipes available on top, help include kids in the sales process & lower the anxiety level of a busy restaurant or waiting room.

The Something for Kids toy service provides a toy station, toys, and disinfectant wipes for a monthly fee.

Steve Klein of Klein Honda is sold on it, “It worked so well on the showroom floor with both kids and parents, that I put a second one into our customer service waiting area. It’s used every day.”

The service gets the right toys into the right business by using a “best practices” approach to pre-qualify each toy. This patent-pending business method grew from a need to find a safe alternative to the noisy, disruptive toy piles parents loathe and free Mom and Dad to focus on business.  

Designed to fit tight spaces, the sleek round corners of the toy station promote cleanliness and order while offering a selection of proven favorites like Big Screen Tetris and Etch-a-Sketch. What’s new is that all Something for Kids toys must pass a rigorous selection process. If the toy doesn’t have a positive impact on the business environment, it doesn’t make it to the toy station.  

Toy tracking, safety inspections, and cleaning support make having a toy station easy for businesses or offices.  Restaurants, medical and dental offices, car dealers, auto parts, banks, and retailers are finding Something for Kids has something else for them: increased productivity.

Puget Sound auto dealers have become the early adopters of this service.  They carefully want to manage customer’s children in a way that will not disrupt the sales process.  Restaurant owners feel the same way. Craig Johnson, of Ooba’s in Woodinville & Redmond enthuses, “Customers have remarked how much more quiet the restaurant is with kids playing with these toys.  My customers love it.  My staff loves it.  This service is great!”

Before Something for Kids, the toy bin hurt the image of most businesses. With this new service, parents have clean, safe toys that they can disinfect themselves with handy wipes.   Said one parent of a particularly fidgety 8-year-old waiting for a burrito, “Hallelujah, a problem solved!”
