TORONTO, /CNW/ – Spin Master Corp. (TSX: TOY) (www.spinmaster.com), a leading global children’s entertainment company, and popular children’s educators and entertainers Rachel Griffin-Accurso and Aron Accurso, creators of the Ms. Rachel YouTube channel for babies and toddlers, are teaming up to create a collection of developmental and early childhood learning toys. The deal, brokered by CAA Brand Management, a division of leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), establishes Spin Master as Ms. Rachel’s global master toy licensee, delivering hands-on play to Ms. Rachel’s avid fanbase of 50 million unique monthly viewers, and counting, with the first items launching Fall 2024.

“We are thrilled to be Ms. Rachel’s partner in play,” said Doug Wadleigh, Spin Master’s Executive Vice President and Head of Global Toy Brands. “As a progressive and trusted voice in early childhood learning, Ms. Rachel is a wonderful fit for our toy portfolio and will support Spin Master’s expansion into early childhood and developmental play.”
