From creative art activities to scientific pursuits to challenging new games to good books and lively music, our playthings tickle the imagination and expand the mind. Online is just a small sampling of the over 10,000 toys we carry in our stores.

For over 40 years, my primary concern has been the health and well-being of our communities' children. It is with great care that I consider the product we place on our shelves, trying my best to assure that all our playthings meet and exceed the highest safety standards. While physical safety is A#1, I consider the social and emotional health of the child to be equally important and carry toys, books, and games that help develop critical and creative thinking, self-esteem, and constructive social values.

Our toy shops are conveniently located in the historic neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and Andersonville in Chicago. We strive to be as intelligent, unique, and interesting as the multi-cultural communities we proudly serve.
