"#ThankYouHeroes is designed to immortalize and honor healthcare workers and every day heroes," Chuck Scothon, Senior Vice President of Fisher-Price and global head of Infant and Preschool at Mattel said. "Whether these toys are given as a gift to recognize someone working on the front lines, or used as a tool to help children have a conversation about how they’re feeling, it is our hope that Fisher-Price toys, and play in general, can ultimately make these difficult times easier for both kids and adults."
