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. Apple Park's production facility was the first organic soft toy factory in China to be certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).

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 conscience 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.

The name “Apple Park” represents the ideals that define our brand.

The word “apple” stands for a new beginning, the life cycle, nature, love, curiosity and education.

“Park” refers to a place where man has collaborated with nature for the purpose of preservation and enjoyment.

Apple Park's mission is to create unique, lovable and stimulating toys from organic, sustainable and recycled materials.

• Bunny Deluxe Blanket
• “Wow. Worth every penny! …Last week, my younger sister in LA sent me this blanket for my son Kyle's 1^st 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.”
