There are helpful people there to answer questions and suggest options you may not have thought about. The Topeka Toy Store (Lawrence too) is large and open with a second floor full of toys, books, and activities. I do an opinion writing project with my 5th grade class every year about entomophagy (eating insects) and I rely on the Toy Store for the boxes of flavored crickets and larvae I offer to the brave kids who choose to try them. We've been coming here for a long time and my 16 year old and 2.5 year old still find fun things they want at every visit. We love the Toy Store! If you're looking to support local business and don't mind spending a bit more to do so, you have to check this place out. There's something for everyone.

Framewoods of Topeka is a wonderful place for all your picture needs. I had a delightful experience…read morethere, just last week. First, a bit of a backstory: A little over 8 years ago, I brought a poster of Ophelia by John Everett Millais to Framewoods of Topeka. I had an absolutely delightful experience, so when I got a new poster.. this one from a tv show called Doctor Who, I knew I could bring in my new poster and it would get the best care, attention, and dare I say it, love. :) I knew they wouldn't laugh at me for wanting to do something unusual like putting a poster into a frame. I was right. I came in and spoke with Apollonia Jamison, showed her the poster and she instantly started being creative. (I told her a bit of my background with the Ophelia poster.) Gary Blitsch heard my story and came over to check things out. He asked a bit about Ophelia so I had my son take a picture and message it to me. Mr. Blitsch said he remembered it, because it had an unusual cut, just like the original Ophelia painting currently part of the Tate Gallery. Meanwhile, Mrs. Jamison continued to bring out sample frames and matboard and matching them. Mr. Blitsch was familiar with Doctor Who and brought out a frame that I fell in love with. Working with the frame, Mrs. Jamison started filing through colors and laying them on the poster to find the perfect match. And she did! It was an unusual color, but it made the picture snap!! Absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend Framewoods of Topeka and Mr. Blitsch and Mrs. Jamison! They really will make your experience fun and the final results will be amazing!
