Who We Are

Click here to read more about us

As a former teacher, I carry well designed, safe toys, that I hand select from trusted sources with the highest standards. Classic to Trendy, for Babies through Teens.

Unlike online warehouses or the big box stores, our seasoned Toy Experts have real hands-on experience and knowledge to share with you about our toys, games and books, arts & crafts and so much more!

Whether you need help finding the perfect gift, or just want us to gift-wrap and ship what you have chosen, we’re here to help. Call our Toy Experts at 847-441-5975 during our regular business hours or email us anytime.

“Play is Brain Food” and we work Extra Hard to find products that stimulate and encourage creative play and also have the appeal of something special. We carry the Classic Favorites and well as the New and Unusual, always looking for the best “PLAY VALUE” and “FUN FACTOR”. Come on in and let us show you what a difference the right toy can make in your child’s life!

We are a family-owned, community-friendly business and put great value on the reputation we have earned as an honest, trustworthy and responsive company that cares about our customers.

You have many choices when shopping. Please give us the opportunity to be your one-stop toy store.

Sincerely,
Markie Carlson, Senior Toyologist

Happy Customers

This toy shop is loaded with gift options and ideas for any age – even adults will find something fun. The staff is so kind and will help guide you if you need it. The free and fast gift wrapping makes it that much easier. I appreciate having a unique and quality store that is not part of the big box epidemic.

The staff here is so helpful. I’ve gotten my nephew gifts from here and he loves them all. I live in Northfield, and I love supporting local business.

Monica Frigo Sugar

I love shopping here!! They have so many fanTAstic gift options, and they will wrap it for you! There’s no need to make another stop for a card, they have very cute ones by the register!
