At my core, I'm a diehard fan of online toy shopping. But even I squeeled at the news of a Melissa & Doug pop-up store in my neighborhood so I will be taking my daughter their ASAP.
The brand, known for wooden educational toys, has become a staple in my home and their prices are always reasonable for quality puzzles, blocks and pretend play gear like faux veggies and dolls.
According to a neighborhood mama friend of mine, even if you don't plan to buy anything, it is worth the visit with your little one just to let them play to their heart's content with all that's on display. Even though I have a set of Melissa & Doug stacking blocks sitting in a yoyo.com box in my living room right this second.
With 500 Melissa & Doug toys on display, you're sure to find the perfect gifts for all the little ones you shop for. They are available at Jam Paper through the holiday season.
