I have shopped here before. This shop is on the second floor of the Sparrow building in the Kerrytown neighborhood. The youngest member of our local host family has declared it her favorite toy store in Ann Arbor. Grandparents beware, have a settled upon spending limit before entering. In the past I have purchased baby gifts for others and treats for a toddler. Today the perfect selection was found after a great deal of deliberation and calculations. The store is well stocked with stuffed animals so a baby goat was selected since we had just visited some earlier at White Lotus Farm. And a great beginner reader was also chosen. Our hosts needed some baby gifts for friends, and those they chose, looked great! Selections are beautifully displayed, the staff is friendly and helpful. Quality of everything we saw was excellent. read more

Friendly staff happy to engage the kids in trying out toys and answering questions. Tons of stuff to catch young (and older) imaginations. Priced decently for a Kerrytown jewel. Interesting collection of old school and newbies. Caught sight of Rubix cube and etch a sketch. Saw folks visiting even without children.. Perhaps suffering from bouts of nostalgia as I was. My kids want to go back. Check out the fairy door when you go read more

You know what! They have so many toys and this is May be the best place in Detroit area to get toys for babies or kids!

Tree Town Toys over on Plymouth Road has a larger selection, but Mudpuddles is also a good choice for an out-of-the-ordinary toy-shopping experience. Mudpuddles has a lot of educational toys and toys with a vintage flavor. They sell toddler toys, card games, art sets, yo-yos and stuffed animals. One unique offering I haven't seen anywhere else is hula-hoops covered in tie-dyed fabric. And prices were competitive compared to other toy stores in the area. read more

My daughters first birthday is in a couple of weeks and my husband and I wanted to pick her up some toys. I called the store to see what options they would have. The woman was so helpful and kind over the phone we had to come in. The same woman was so nice and helpful in the store. She helped us find some perfect things for our daughter. Lovely little store and will surely be back! read more

I really neat toy store. A large variety of stuff for young and older children. Plus a few areas that have toys out for play while you're there. read more

I love toys. This store (inside Kerrytown) has good ones. You don't have to settle for the millionth cute stuffed animal. Choose creatively! Some favorites that I got here: a magician with a flaming sword (toy soldier scale, suitable for placing on a toy soldier's horse), Groovy dolls (complaint: they only have the girls, not the boys), a few other things to play with. I also share with children, but these are MINE. read more

Great toy and game selection. Mudpuddles has a very eclectic array of toys and games. I do have one concern, some of the infant toys and accessories, looked less than safe, (i know if they are selling them they have to pass some sort of safety test) but i would not let my child have a small wooden beaded pacifier clip. read more

Really cool little toy store. I was looking for something specific for a present my nephew and I found it here. I called them before I made the trip to that area and they were really nice and helpful on the phone. I wasn't stuck on hold forever waiting to see if some kid would remember that I was on hold. I was helped super fast and told they had what I was looking for. The store was a little tough for me to find but I'm really glad I managed to find the store. It's an actual toy store. It's a place I could take my kid and her cousins and spend tons of time having fun just deciding what to get. read more

I love this toy store. My daughter loves this toy store. They had a train play table set up with trains children can play with, which is awesome! I like the selection of Made in USA toys here as well. And the selection of baby dolls. The staff is so helpful and friendly ! read more

Had a gift card from our daughter being born so decided to go there today on her first birthday. They have a great selection of toys for all ages. And they have toys that you can't normally find at just other stores.We got our daughter some great things and their prices are very reasonable. read more

Huge disappointment. We live in Royal Oak and went to A2 on a rare day off. At Mudpuddles, we found a toy we thought our toddler would like, some blowup dinosaur toy. We noticed the box was damaged and when we asked the owner, she assured us, "Oh, that happens in shipping all of the time. It's nothing to worry about." We got home, opened the box and the dinosaur had a hole in it. We live an hour away and rarely get to Ann Arbor. So, a month or so later, my wife had a job interview in A2. Perfect opportunity to return it, right? Wife rolls up there at noon to find a "Be right back" sign on a closed/locked shop. A month after that, we just threw the thing away, along with the $60 we paid for it. I don't think the owner was being intentionally deceptive - at least I would hope not - but her oversight cost us money, and more importantly, time. Her selective hours didn't help when we tried to return. Inattentive, careless ownership overseeing overpriced products. read more

This is such a fun store. Lots of interesting toys for babies on up to tweens. The owner is always very friendly and helpful.

This is what a toy store should be! There's great stuff for people of all ages to kind of tinker with, a minimum number of licensed property toys (aside from the always-popular name brand character train track in the corner), and a real relaxed "browse till you buy" kind of attitude. I love this toy store. I guess I should mention that my kids really do too . . . read more
