April Fool's Day

We are always joking around at Toys for the Fun of It; testing the old rattlesnake egg trick, quacking up, playing games, juggling and so on. April fool's Day is just another fun day in toy land. We carry magic tricks and gags & pranks all year round, but this is the time to highlight them.Scientific Explorer knows how to make science fun. They make hands-on science projects to make slime, bubble gum, sour candy, magic tricks and the favorite "gags & pranks". Honest, it's educational! Then there are Klutz books. The Encyclopedia of Immaturity is our best seller. Check out their video. Their newest book that fits this category is Tricky Video; full of great trick photography ideas. Happy April Fool's Day and remember, you can be "foolish" all year long - it's more fun that way!

Spring Babies

It's spring in the valley. Bulbs are popping up and some are already blooming in our planters downtown. Baby chicks are in at the farm stores. So let's talk about baby toys. Most infant development toys grow with the child. Start with a colorful item that just dangles to get the baby's attention. Then, in a couple of months, the child will grab it and put it in his mouth. Later, he will throw it, crawl after it, and put it in his mouth. Many of our toys are designed to be used on several levels as the child matures. Safety is also a concern, so it is important to choose toys that are age appropriate. We are always on hand to make recommendations and our customers are really great about giving us testimonials about their child's favorite toy.

Spring Break Season

Spring break is upon us. We've been seeing the lucky customers that need travel toys all week long. I can't guarantee that you won't hear "Are we there yet?" from the back seat, but I'm sure the travel hours will go more smoothly with a few treasures to hand out when the natives are restless. For those of you planning a "staycation", we are always good for a little live entertainment in the store. It's time to check out what's new and take home a kite, game, and maybe try out the new YO BABY kickflipper for hours of entertainment. Whatever your plans are for spring break, come down to see us and HAVE FUN!
