Our Story

What do two teachers, with over 30 years of teaching experience between them, do when they lay down their chalk and put away their red pens for the last time? They pack up all they’ve learned along the way and open a toy store that’s unlike any other!

It may sound as if we were just ready to have some fun, and we were… but that’s only part of the story. As teachers, we know how important it is for children to find time to practice what they learn in school. As parents, we know that kids need down time to just be kids and play. So we took what we know and we started thinking…wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to combine the two and offer toys that were both educational and entertaining? Maybe, by doing so, we could even help empower children to feel confident about learning.

We realized this would mean that our store was going to be a little different than other toy stores, but we were okay with that distinction…we even embraced the difference. It’s our personal mission to find toys and games that entertain, educate, and empower your child.

Take a peek inside our collection of great toys and see what you think. We hope you’ll find unique, non-commercial toys that your kids will love and leave you feeling confident that their needs are being met.
