Our history

OUR STORY BEGINS 50 YEARS AGO ...

Crown and Andrews was founded by Gerry Crown and Vic Andrews. They started by doing demonstrations kitchen gadgets on the second floor of Myer Melbourne.

The first product that brought the company into the children's market was the Australian invented, Sketch-A-Graph - which is still available today! It was first sold in Adelaide in 1966 and sales around the world now exceed 8 million units.

We are one of the few companies in Australia that develops new product in-house and has successfully licensed Australian invented games around the world (current examples include Test Match, Compatibility, Sorts, Deal or no deal).

In addition to games, we manufacture and distribute The World's most beautiful jigsaw puzzles brand using images from world renowned artists and photographers.
