Peter Pan Playthings Ltd was a British toy company founded in 1963. It bought Salter Science and other assets from the receivers of Thomas Salter Ltd.[1] In 1972 the company reported a £80,000 profit. The following year it was acquired by Berwick Timpo.[2][3]

The company was sold on to Bluebird Toys in 1987, which continued to use the Peter Pan Playthings brand for several years.[4]
