He was impressed by kids enjoying with pencils, sticks and empty spools of thread to create his new toy. He noticed them improvising and utilizing their imaginations and questioned if improve upon what they were doing. He designed his first set of Tinker Toys in his garage and displayed them in 1914 on the American Toy Fair.

Alas, his Tinker Toys drew no interest. So he tried again, this time at Christmas time, but with a new advertising and marketing plan. Pajeau hired a quantity of midgets and had them dress in elf costumes. He then had them “play” with the Tinker Toys” in a retailer display window in a Chicago division retailer and with this publicity a model new toy was born. After a 12 months or so, over a million sets of Tinker Toys had been bought!
