This uptown toy shop caters to everyone from tots to tweens. Little ones can learn their ABCs with Spot and Franklin readers from the extensive book collection, or get creative with pump-top finger paints (450 mL, $7) in a variety of bright hues. An assortment of tutus and tiaras, Brio track sets (My First Railway, $43) and Lego kits run the gamut of interests and ages. Clothing by Roxy, Hatley and Kushies for kids up to age eight line the walls. For the tyke who has everything, Russ Shining Stars plush toys ($20) come with an on-line registry code so owners can have their name officially recorded in an International Star Registry.
