Melissa & Doug is partnering with Journey Castillo, a 3-year-old who became the youngest person to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks, to showcase the company’s collection of toys inspired by the parks.
Castillo is heading out on tour across the country to tell her story of visiting all of the National Parks while sharing the educational toys in the National Parks collection.
“Journey’s spirit of adventure and discovery is perfectly aligned with the National Park Foundation Collection,” says Eric and Valerie Castillo, Journey’s parents. “We are excited to work with Melissa & Doug in bringing this sense of wonder and exploration to children across the country.”

The National Park Foundation Collection highlights include the Rocky Mountains National Park Sights & Songs Wooden Camera Play Set ($29.99), which is designed for kids ages 3 and up and features photo cards of different animals that kids can put into the camera to play animal and nature sounds, and the Grand Canyon National Park Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle ($9.99), which shows off the stunning landscape and animals of the park.
Melissa & Doug has pledged to donate $1 million to the National Park Foundation over three years. The entire National Park Foundation Collection is made with FSC-certified paper and wood.
