Tees and toys

T-shirt maker Kerusso continues to grow its inspirational toy line to meet the increasing demand for Christian-themed toys.

CEO and President Vic Kennett said the company's emphasis on toys reflects a long-standing commitment to evangelism.

"Kerusso was founded with the goal to spread the gospel," he said. "Team members saw an opportunity to fill the need for toys that inspire faith-filled play and took it. Our line now includes fashion dolls, miniature puppy play sets and friction-powered trucks."

Marketing Director Jason Anzalone added: "Kerusso is committed to bringing toys to the Christian market that are fun to play with and help share the gospel."

"My Faithful Friends" is the newest toy line. Joy, Charity, and Courage are three puppies named for possessing traits from the Bible. Retailing for $9.99 a set, the puppies feature packaging with a special message and verse.

"God's Girlz" fashion dolls-Sarah, Abigail, Hannah and Imani-retail for $14.99 each. The company also sells accessory sets for the dolls.

For boys, Kerusso has an assortment of friction-powered trucks with graphics that have a powerful message. They retail for $6.99 each.
