Copernicus Toys was founded in 1987 by Harris and Ellen Tobias, driven by a passion for making science accessible and engaging for children. Their approach was to infuse whimsy and delight into educational toys, encouraging hands-on exploration and discovery. The company prides itself on creating "nerdy awesome toys" that inspire curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and foster a love for learning in science and nature. Over the years, Copernicus Toys has cultivated a reputation for innovative and unique products that stand apart from mass-produced toys, maintaining its commitment to both educational value and entertainment.

Copernicus Toys is dedicated to manufacturing a significant portion of its products in the United States. While their design work is based in Charlottesville, Virginia, their "Made in the USA" commitment extends to their production. Specifically, they employ workers in both Pennsylvania and Virginia to assemble their toys and kits. This commitment also includes working with individuals with intellectual, physical, and other disabilities, helping them develop vocational skills and economic self-sufficiency. By keeping manufacturing local, Copernicus Toys ensures quality control, supports American employment, and aligns with its mission to create thoughtful, high-quality educational products.
