About OOZ & OZ OOZ & OZ creates Morph-O-Scopes educational toys that nurture play and development in children. We create elementary school learning toys and interactive games that children take into their hearts and minds! Toys that engage children across the spectrum gifted, exceptional, autistic. We create unique children's party entertainment, children's arts and crafts, and unique science toys that surprise and delight and teach and challenge children, just enough. This has been our mission since 1989, when founder Myrna Hoffman invented an unusual coloring and drawing activity for her daughter's seventh birthday party. The idea was based on an ancient Chinese optical illusion amusement device the anamorphoscope that had fascinated her for decades. It uses curved mirrors to magically re-form specially morphed drawings into normal reflections like a reverse fun house where the person is warped, but his reflection appears right. Party guests, too, were so enchanted by the brain-tickling fun that parents urged Ms. Hoffman to create more mirror art educational toys and games. The following summer Hoffman produced her ingenious Mirror-aculous Art Activities Kit, immediately winning a Parents' Choice Gold Doing & Learning Award. The Kit now has earned nineteen top national toy honors.
