Little Treats,
A lot of Joy

Inspired by bringing small but special moments to everyday life, Kinder® creates innovative products made for sharing, family and togetherness across all ages.

KINDER^{^®}: A LITTLE A LOT

We are for the little moments

The everyday ones and the surprising ones.
The good ones, the not so good ones.
Those passing in a blink of an eye.
We love all little moments.
For kids moments are never little, especially when shared with their loved ones.
They last an instant, but they say everything.
They are magic.
Because what may seem little to us, means a lot to them.

The Story of Kinder^{^®}

1968

The beginnings of Kinder^{^®}

The Kinder® story starts in 1968, in the heart of the small town of Alba, Italy. Here, Michele Ferrero developed a heartfelt idea that would grow into the Kinder® brand we know today: developing a product that kids could enjoy. This was the birth of Kinder® Chocolate.

1974

A Surprise is born

Michele Ferrero was inspired by the Italian Easter tradition of children searching for a chocolate egg with a surprise inside. He wanted to take the joy of this concept and translate it into a product that could be enjoyed every day of the year. Kinder® Surprise was born!

The Kinder® Surprise egg opened a world of educational toys that encouraged children and parents to play together. We work with experts in child development to design toys that can promote joyful growth through shared play moments with family or friends.
