TEDCO Toys Review - #HGG


Chances are you have played with a gyroscope at some point in your life. More than likely, it was a Chandler gyroscope. For over 70 years the Chandler Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, produced and sold virtually tens of millions of gyroscopes all over the country. In 1982 TEDCO, Inc. purchased the Chandler Company. Since then, the toy line has expanded and sales are now global.

TEDCO was first established as a research & development company by the late Ralph Teetor. Mr. Teetor was a well-known and highly respected inventor who started TEDCO (Teetor Engineering Development Company) as a vehicle to foster his inventions. His most renowned accomplishment is the "cruise control" on your automobile.

Mr. Teetor was blinded at an early age, yet he did not allow his lack of sight to hinder his creative genius. He was president of the former Perfect Circle Corporation and was inducted posthumously into the Automotive Hall of Fame.

Today, TEDCO is owned by Mr. Teetor's daughter, Marjorie Teetor Meyer, and the Meyer family along with some TEDCO employees. Most of TEDCO's direction has been turned over to the employees with a new emphasis on manufacturing scientific and educational toys like the TEDCO Gyroscope. Located in the heart of Middle America, the people of TEDCO are committed to developing top quality toys that, in the spirit of Ralph Teetor, promote creativity, education, and fun.

My Review:
TEDCO Toys Timmy Bird is so much fun! My five year old absolutely loves this bird. She plays with it nonstop and loves watching it fly. It actually flaps its wings and looks just like a real bird in flight. We have two cats and they think it's the real thing so my daughter has to race the cats to get the bird which is a fun game in itself. Timmy Bird would be an absolutely terrific gift for kids this holiday season!
