The UK toy store Early Learning Centre was opened in Greenbelt 5 early last year. It has a lot of cool items for kids aged 0 to 6 years. The store divides its selection into several categories: Action& Adventure, Art & Creativity, Baby & Toddler, Let's Pretend, Music & Learning, Puzzles & Games; and Sports & Activity. These categories should already give you an idea of how extensive their product lines are. Little boys will enjoy the wide selection of cars, dinosaurs, farms, basketball games and more. Little girls, on the other hand, can enjoy paint, coloring materials, cooking items, dolls and more. Then there are the gender-neutral toys like wooden block games, flash cards, musical toys, learning packs and others.
I've bought my 3-year-old girl to this place several times and she enjoys being able to freely pick up a toy and look at it. This makes it easier for me to buy toys for her because I see exactly how interested she is in each toy before I consider purchasing it.
ELC is one of the few toy stores around that actually manufacture their own brand. Their toys follow European standards and are guaranteed to be hazard-free and non-toxic. Though priced a bit more than what you'd find in other toy stores, I think it's really worth it for the peace of mind and the brand's focus on child development. read more
