Our vision

“77 years ago, our grandfather had a belief – that toys should have a role in children’s learning and development as well as being fun to play with. today, we still live and breathe his vision as we continue to design, manufacture, and sell toys for children around the world!”

we’re a family run business

founded in 1946, the brilliant mind of thomas cassidy gave life to casdon with the mission to invent toys that not only sparked imagination but helped support child development through play.

fast forward 77 years and casdon is today a third-generation, family run business – owned and managed by phil and peter cassidy.

7 license partners and growing

we work with some of the biggest licenses in the toy market to develop miniature versions of every-day items which children see in and around the home today.

since the introduction of our very first licenses back in 1984 (many of whom we still work with today), we continue to grow our portfolio and have most recently welcomed joseph joseph to our range of role-play toys.
