Omni Hotels Kitchen Kids Kits
For 2013/2014, Omni Hotels & Resorts wanted a new activity kit for children of their family guests that reflected and supported the corporation’s healthy eating and lifestyle initiatives.
We put our designers to work to create custom Kitchen Kids kid chefs, and fruit and vegetable kid personas, to help get the message across.
The Omni Kitchen Kids were brought to life in a kit that includes a kid-sized backpack, 48-page activity book, custom-molded character straw, Memory Matchup card game and crayons. All of the items were designed and produced by Tic Toc, and we handle daily fulfillment of kits to properties across the Omni system. Orders are facilitated via Omni’s Birch Street online ordering system.
More than 500,000 kids kits have been utilized since Tic Toc developed the program for Omni in 2008.

Braum’s Kids Meal Program
Since 1987, we have produced more than 25 million kids toys for the Braum’s kids meal program. This year alone we will produce more than 3 million products for seven new custom-designed themes – included meal sacks and toys.
Our themes utilize both generic proprietary properties and licensed property tie-ins, such as Dino Dan, The Gruffalo and Sid the Science Kid.
Tic Toc manufactures all products with our factories in China, and we handle all safety testing to ensure products are 0+ age-graded. We have never had a product recall.
Friendly’s Kids Programs
When clients want to talk about ice cream, we’re all ears! So when Friendly’s Ice Cream wanted a unique way to serve kid’s sundaes AND celebrate children’s birthdays at their restaurants, we jumped at the chance.
Tic Toc has produced more than ½ billion kids toys! We put our team of designers to work on creating fun, custom-designed ice cream sundae vessels and birthday party kit elements.
Using our China factories, we produced more than 600,000 custom-designed ice cream vessels for specially-created Friendly’s sundaes. We also created custom birthday party kits for Friendly’s crews to help get the party started at their restaurant locations. Products were safety designed and tested to our rigorous QA/QC standards.
The Peabody Memphis Kids Summer Program The Peabody Memphis asked us to help them turn the famous Peabody Ducks into a summer kids program – so we developed The Peabody Weebodies!
We created the name and supporting logos for use with kids kit products and collateral materials.
