Peter Pan Records was a record label specializing in children's music which existed from the 1950s to the present. The label was owned by the Synthetic Plastics Company of Newark, New Jersey until the 1970s. The label was owned from 1970s to 2000 by Peter Pan Industries or PPI Entertainment of Newark, New Jersey. The label is currently owned by Inspired Studios since 2000 in Roseland, New Jersey, and continues to release children's music both on CD and online formats.
The label was notable for its series of book-and-record sets, combining an illustrated storybook with a vinyl record that contained music and narration by "your Peter Pan Storyteller" (who, memorably, would prompt the listener to "turn the page" at the sound of a bell). Cartoon characters were often subjects or stars of stories.

Power Records was a related label, featuring characters licensed from DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and contemporary television series (such as Space: 1999, Kojak, Star Trek and The Six Million Dollar Man), in stories geared toward older children. Besides book-and-record sets, LPs were produced, featuring the recorded stories without illustrations.
Inspired is currently in the process of converting the music from the vaults of Synthetic Plastics (to the present) into digital media.
