Eventually found it after a few false starts and U-turns. The thing I always find about Smyths is that every time I go in I feel somewhat overwhelmed. I mean it's a huge shop with floor to ceiling shelves of brightly coloured things... as I walk in I can never figure out how exactly I'm going to find the thing I'm looking for. The one in Tallaght is no exception, although it's quieter than the one in town, which means at least my ears wheren't assailed at the same time as my eyes. After wandering around a bit and wondering where the aisle with the trucks on it would be, I found what I was looking for. While pondering the various merits of tractors versus diggers (and indeed possible choking hazards), one of the staff asked if I would need any help. He really was helpful in finding age appropriate toys for the discerning two year old who prefers things to look like replicas rather than toys, and I ended up buying something on the shelf which he directed me to. It's probably also worth saying that there doesn't seem to be a large carpark near the store but there is a reasonable amount of on-street parking, although how available that is during the day I don't know.

But half the fun is in the hunt. Recommended when you are in Dublin

Now I know you are gong to say "Of course Q, its a toy shop, what do you expect?" and its a fair point, but this place is different - all of the toys have an educational slant and for once his doesn't mean the place is the equivalent of a stalk of broccoli to a child, the stock is well chosen and fun, and appealing to the ankle biters! They also have a whole range of art and craft supplies for those rainy days; stickers, card, glitter, glue, glittery glue etc etc etc. I know you'll really want to know so I'll tell you, after my son had recovered his power of speech we decided on a cow as a suitable memento from our visit, he was still clutching it as he went to bed this eve!

This place has the types of toys that you want your kids to play with, no play stations and Wiis or other electronic stuff it has total back to basics kind of things. these are the kind of toys that the kid who plays with the box instead of what was in the box needs, they don't need fancy pants complicated stuff they need a trip to nimble fingers.its like the shop is teeming with innocence. The art supplies in the shop are top quality too, anything you need in the way of arts and crafts can be found in here. I also love how this is a family run independent store, its not a greedy chain looking for a fast buck, it seems that the shop people in here genuinely care about what they do

She went to great trouble to help a customer find the right costume for her little boy and even told her that they could bring it home and if it didn't fit, they could bring it back.

In her own words "Ella Bada" (I love you). Her words every time she walks in the door. I quite enjoy the place myself, with all sorts of toys and games and puzzles that I wish I could buy for my own inner child and it not seem weird! They have a surprising variety considering space constrictions yet the shop isn't overrun with crap. It doesn't overwhelm the senses with colours and big boxes as do most Toystores (cough cough Smyths). Just a nice little toyshop with a friendly air. Rings all the right bells.

Build a bear... now, I know you are wondering, what do they do there? If only they'd give some sort…read moreof hint, a clue even as to what might happen, what might be on offer when you walk through the doors. I had no idea. Luckily I have a well informed four and a half year old who had a very good idea of what might happen and was only too glad to fill me in on the details... in exchange for permitting him to go through the process of getting a bear er.. built. To an adult it all looks a bit contrived.... A cynical person sees all the accessories and extras that are on offer, knows that the process doesn't just involve picking up a suitable/desirable cover/empty bear, getting it stuffed, putting in a heart (a free cloth one or a 6Euro 'beating' one), sewing it up and paying the nice girl at the desk. A child sees it differently, they see: 1. A huge choice of new best friends, just waiting to be filled and named and personalised 2. A chance to actually help in stuffing their own teddy, thereby making it that bit more special 3. An opportunity to put in the teddy's heart before the closing surgery 4. A chance to give the new teddy a big hug to see if it is too hard/too soft.. and have it adjusted accordingly 5. Getting to help make and print the teddy's birth cert 6. The possibility of getting clothes and shoes and all manner of extras for the new best friend And yes, for the most part, they are absolutely correct; my lad loved the whole process and the guys in the shop do their best to make a big deal of each child and their new teddy. They also try to constantly up-sell the extras which is a bit annoying but completely understandable. My lad wasn't getting extras and while not overly happy about this at first, he was made up and extras forgotten about when he saw that the bear came in a cardboard box, shaped like a house that he could colour in... he has spent the last 4 days personalising it. For a cost of 21Euro it is not bad value, sure these aint Steiff Bears, but not bad quality and the kids enjoy the process. So, yeah, I was very sceptical about the whole thing when we went in but actually it was a lovely experience and one I am keen to repeat with one of my many Goddaughters very soon!

The Early Learning Centre stocks toys for babies, toddlers and young children, generally with an…read moreeducational, or at least good for them, idea behind them. And it isn't as dull as it sounds - there's lots of bright colours and shiny boxes here too. You'll see lots of parents and their young children here, but it's also a good place for the childless to buy gifts for children, because age group is clearly marked on boxes - my last year of being an aunt has been a revelation in what you can and can't give children!! The toys here are imaginative and interesting without being overpriced. They mostly stock their own brand of toys but also some other brands which fit in with the whole ethos. This is usually the first place I look when thinking about a gift to give a small child. Sometimes it's like a trip down memory lane, but with a twist, for example now the toy cash registers have a chip and pin slot!
