In this Jan. 14, 2015, photo, 21-month-old Noelle Roberts plays with Fisher-Price toys while "baby wrangler" Melanie Ruskin keeps her engaged and photographer Michael Mandolfo records the moment at a studio in Buffalo, N.Y.  Fisher-Price has been using local kids on its packaging for years, eschewing “professional” models in favor of the babies and toddlers parents who trundle in to the toy maker’s headquarters in the quaint village of East Aurora, N.Y. The company recently began photographing children in a second studio, in Buffalo, to tap into the urban center’s more multi-cultural feel and better reflect the faces in the 150 countries where Fisher-Price toys are sold.
