About California Creations

California Creations has been a family-owned business since 1975, built on creativity, craftsmanship, and a passion for making products that spark joy. Over the decades, the company has evolved with the industry — shifting from distributing toys to designing and developing our own original creations with wide, timeless appeal. While founder Mark Dinges no longer owns the company, we proudly carry forward the same traditions, values, and commitment to quality that he helped establish. Today, our beloved Z WindUps® toys and other products can be found in more than 16,000 store locations across the U.S. and Canada. We continue to innovate, dream, and create — always with the goal of delivering delightful products that stand out on shelves and bring smiles to every generation.Read their story
