Stevanne Auerbach, Dr. Toy, in 1986 founded and served as director of the San Francisco International Toy Museum, the world’s first interactive toy museum. More than 50,000 children visited the museum between 1986 and 1990, when the Loma Prieta earthquake forced it to shut its doors. New toys and products, as well as historical collectibles, were a mainstay of this unique “hands on” museum.
In 2012, Dr. Toy launched Magic Toy Box (www.magictoybox.org), a virtual toy museum that delights, informs, educates, and connects parents, children, and other toy enthusiasts with toy companies and stores using the latest technology, multimedia and social media.
By design, drtoy.com and magictoybox.org, are results-oriented advertising opportunities created by an award-winning, recognized industry leader, thereby adding instant credibility to advertisers and Dr. Toy’s award winning children’s products alike.
