park history

Apple Park was founded in San Francisco with a vision to create environmentally responsible and luxurious products for babies and children. Apple Park's Picnic Pals were inspired by classic children's toys, reinvented with the finest eco-friendly materials available.

The products are not only safe for small ones, they are good for the whole earth.

From a family of experienced toy makers, Apple Park's founder, Angie Ting, set out to create the line of eco-friendly products with her two young children in mind. Her concern for the health of babies, the environment and social issues derived from conventional farming, were her inspiration. She formed a partnership with Pate International, a highly respected San Francisco design firm known for their environmentally conscious designs, to create the brand in 2009. Susan Pate, along with her daughter Chloe Pate, helped her realize her dream and together they created Apple Park.

  • Soft Block Set
  • “Wonderful blocks. I was really debating buying these blocks due to the price, but I'm so happy I did. They are bigger than I thought and even cuter than the picture. They are very soft and detailed and each one has a rattle, squeaks or chimes. The best part about them is I don't have to worry about my 4mo old putting them in his mouth because they're organic!”

  • “A must have. These animal are firm, the apple rattle when you shake, behind each animal has a heart apple shape sew near its behind. It's pretty cute as gift for valentine. To an extent the apple look like a heart. It look very nice. If you want to try, buy the bear first because it looks pretty nice or just buy the cheapest one first to see the quality whether or not you will like it. I will definitely buy them all, but not at the same time right now.”

  • “Baby loves his soft blocks! My son loves these blocks and I have the peace of mind knowing they are safe to chew and suck on. He has other soft blocks, but these are his favorite because they are easy to grab and carry around. The surfaces are also wonderfully soft and he likes to rub his face on the fuzzy and silky sides. A bit more expensive than other brands, but well worth it.”

  • “Perfect gift for my niece. I bought this picnic pal monkey for my 6 month-old niece as a little extra something for Christmas. It ended up being her favorite part of Christmas. Best purchase I've made yet for her and I will be sure to look for other animals made by this company! A must buy!!”

  • “Very cute toys. I bought a set of 5 from Apple Park website, $[…], $7 shipping. The 15 month old loves them as well as her parents. These are the only 100% organic cotton puppets. There are others that claim to be organic but contain 20% polyester — that is NOT organic!”

  • Bunny Deluxe Blanket
  • “Wow. Worth every penny! …Last week, my younger sister in LA sent me this blanket for my son Kyle's 1st birthday. It came in a cute red recycled packaging. The blanket was incredible. It feels soooooo soft and luxurious. And it's organic?!! Wow. I have few of the baby blankets from department stores, but I really love this one from Apple Park. I was really happy with how the blanket was made, the design and trims were all high quality. Later I found out from my sister how much it was… but let me tell you, it's worth every penny!!! This is a perfect gift for anyone who has a baby. I can't tell you how much I love this blanket.”
