The company Paas (owned by the Schering-Plough drug company) primarily specializes in Easter egg dyes and kits. They produce inexpensive products with a very particular method of manufacturing and packaging. The toys were like those found during the Christmas season as “stocking stuffers.” Very often the little kits and toys I designed for Paas took on various themes such as the “farm” or the “school.” I became a major designer for all their new products, which had to be very Middle America and very wholesome.
