		THE OHIO ART COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
			    (UNAUDITED)
			   March 31, 1995



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1994.

All adjustments necessary (consisting of normal adjustments), in the
opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the periods
indicated have been made.

Due to the seasonal nature of the toy business in which the Company is
engaged and the factors set forth in Management's Discussion and
Analysis, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of a full calendar year.


Note 2 - Inventories

The Company takes a physical inventory annually at each location.  The
amounts shown in the quarterly financial statements have been determined
using the Company's standard cost accounting system.  An estimate, based
on past experience, of the adjustment which may result from the next
physical inventory has been included in the financial statements.  
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) cost method.  Since inventories under the LIFO method
can only be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on
quantities and costs at that time, interim inventory valuation must be
based on estimates of quantities and costs at year-end.


Note 3 - Average Shares Outstanding

Unallocated ESOP shares are deducted from outstanding shares of Common
Stock to arrive at average shares outstanding.

		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



OPERATIONS
- - ----------
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased to
$7,011,000 from $6,028,000 for the comparable 1994 period as a result of
sales increases in both domestic and international toy markets along
with increases in the Company's Custom Manufactured Products segment.
Toy sales in the United States market increased approximately $600,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 from the similar 1994 period
due to increased sales of the Company's Making Creativity Fun!(R)line of
products.  International toy shipments increased approximately $200,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994 as a result of the restructuring of our distribution network with
western European toy companies, which was effective January 1, 1995.
Toy sales trends did not have a material impact on the Company's sales
increase for the first three months of 1995 as compared to the similar
1994 period.  Net sales increased slightly for the Company's Custom
Manufactured Products segment primarily as a result of increased
shipments of film canisters.

The Company's business is seasonal, with approximately 60-70% of its
sales being made in the last six months of the calendar year in recent
years.  Because of the seasonality of the Company's business, the dollar
order backlog in mid-May is not necessarily indicative of expectations
of sales for the full year.  Subject to industry practice and comments
as detailed in the Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994, order receipts through May 10 are approximately
$14,770,000 versus $12,385,000 for the same period of 1994, or
approximately 19% ahead of the prior year.

Gross profit margin (percentage) for the first quarter of 1995 (19.4%)
increased slightly from the first quarter of 1994 (18.2%) primarily due
to the increased sales of the Making Creativity Fun!(R)line of products,
which are generally at a higher gross margin than other products.

Selling, administrative, and general expenses for the first quarter of
1995 increased to $2,787,000 from $2,610,000 for the comparable period
in 1994.  This is due to increases of approximately $120,000 in salaries
and other employee related costs as a result of a higher headcount in
the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the similar 1994 period.
Royalty expense also increased approximately $50,000 as a result of
increased sales of products subject to inventor royalties.

		 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



FINANCIAL CONDITION
- - -------------------
The company's current ratio increased from 2.2 to 1 at December 31, 1994
to 2.4 to 1 at March 31, 1995.  This change is due principally to the
Company's payment of incentive compensation awards and income taxes
payable during the first quarter of 1995, which were accrued as of
December 31, 1994.  Incentive compensation awards paid during the first
quarter of 1995 were directly related to the Company's profitability in
1994, as detailed in the Registrant's annual Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1994. 


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 6. Exhibits and reports on Form 8-K  -  The company did not
		file any reports on Form 8-K during the three months ended
		March 31, 1995.

The information called for in Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are not
applicable.
