Sprig Toys Announces Stortz & Associates as Canadian Distributor

FORT COLLINS, Colo.— Eco-innovator Sprig Toys announced today that its new earth-friendly, battery-free line of electronic preschool toys, the Sprig Adventure Series, will be distributed in Canada by Stortz & Associates, Inc.

“We are excited about our relationship with Stortz,” said Steve Markey, head of sales for Sprig Toys. “They share our passion for the Sprig product line and understand our core values.”

Made from Sprigwood™, a child-safe bio-composite material derived from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic, the Sprig Adventure Series harnesses the natural energy of push- and pump-action play to power lights and other electronics—all without batteries. Adventure Guide characters wearing LED-lit hats plug into durable, attractively designed vehicles and engage preschoolers with audio that guides them through exciting adventures as they play.

“As part of our green initiatives, we are actively sourcing toys with North American content,” said Linda Stortz, co-founder of Stortz & Associates. “We fell in love with the Sprig Adventure Series the moment we saw it, and are proud to have it be our first ‘Made in Canada’ line that features recycled materials.”

Sprig’s packaging for the Adventure Series will be bilingual—English and French—to support Stortz’s distribution of the line in the French-speaking areas of Canada. The toys will be available in stores in fall 2008.
