These are a few of our favorite things...
We've collected our top products of all time in one place to save you time and eliminate any and all doubts about our absolute favorite toys! These products and brands are not only best sellers but also represent some of the best quality and most thoughtful designs and intentions of any items we carry.
what do we mean by core collection?
These brands and products are near and dear to our hearts for a myriad of reasons, but the one thing in common with each one is how often we recommend, sell, and restock them. We've sold hundreds of some core collection items over just the last two years, and it's because we love what we do and customers love what we choose! As a small business run by a family you know and staff invested in kids, we take the time to get to know vendors, brands, products, and educational or therapeutic values of just about everything that comes through our store and are thrilled to pass along that knowledge to our customers.
See something that says out of stock? Be sure to add your email to our restock alert list or let someone know in store and you'll be contacted directly as soon as it comes back in. Everything in this collection is something we like to keep in stock, and it's usually only gone because we can't get any more at the time!
Tonies
The Toniebox works by placing one of their dozens of magnetic characters on top of the box to hear a variety of songs, stories, or recordings. Tonies provides autonomy for kids as young as one and parents can rest easy knowing exactly what their child is listening to without fear of unwanted streaming recommendations.
Micro Scooters
Micro Scooters is our first and only choice for scooters. Tried and true, these top quality, easy to assemble and handle scooters remain the safest, lightest weight options we trust the most. With scooters that start as riding toys for 1+ to their adjustable handlebars and generous weight maximums, there's something for every age!
Madame Alexander
Madame Alexander was created in 1923 with the simple notion that “Dolls were meant to be played with and loved," that revolutionized the industry. We're proud to offer knowledge and direction to our customers on which dolls best suit which situation and love that we can provide Madame Alexander year-round for infants, babies, toddlers, and big kids alike.
Chatty Snaps
Founded by two of our favorite people to work with (Alicia and Annalee), Chatty Snaps was started with the intention of helping kids start conversations and find friends more easily; something even more valuable in the wake of lost social interactions from the past few years. Snaps can be customized for events, teams, or occasions, and we're happy to help facilitate your designs!
