Yellow Springs Toy Company is a chock-filled shop that seems to sell every toy ever invented. The…read moreage range of items is from newborns to seniors. There are bath toys, books, and blocks. There are plushy, puzzles, and puppets. You get the idea. And to top it off, there's a very friendly lady there to help sort it all out for you. The only drawback to the store is that the building is old and not ADA compliant. The entry is via very steep stairs and no landing. It's kind of scary and I'm glad there are handrails. For those with mobility issues, don't worry, as there is in-store pick up, local delivery, and US shipping.

What a fun find in the heart of downtown Yellow Springs! I'm wondering if they're new-ish given…read morethat I'm the first to review this business on Yelp. I'm a sucker for a toy store that sports creative and educational toys. Nine times out of ten I walk out with a purchase either for myself or the kiddos in my life. This visit was no exception. We ended up purchasing these fun stickers that convert a cardboard box into a car (they also had versions that create a mini play kitchen - how fun?!). The shop was filled with educational items - engineering, arts/creative, invention toolkits, art history, etc. They also have a small section in the front with quirky items like a mustached baby pacifier. My only reason for holding back on the fifth star was that some of the tchotchke style items seemed overpriced to a point that I couldn't justify spending more for local - for example $17 sunglasses for kiddos.

The jewelry is gorgeous and as someone who is a huge fan of gemstones the selection is truly impressive. They beautiful statues varying from wolves, Buddha's, mermaids, witches, foxes, and even cats.

There was a line out the door and due to social distancing guidelines they are limiting the amount of people allowed in at a time which was much appreciated. It was also well worth the wait! We ended up picking up the most lovely and unique gifts. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

The prices I felt depended on the size and difficulty of each of the items. The pottery lined all the walls as well as the middle of the store. The store shop attendant or owner was in the corner of the store reading something.

Even if he lifted his head a few seconds and smiled. Maybe it's not a big deal but after feeling the warmth and inviting spaces of the other shops around this one it felt different. Totally a personal observation. Maybe it was my his day. I wish him well and a Happy Holiday Season, Please do visit the shop if you like pottery, they're beautiful.
