Have a "Groovy" Farmer's Market

This week we invite you down to meet the new groovy girls dolls. Not all the new ones are here yet; they are coming in as available. We will have some groovy coloring pages and some groovy give-aways for our groovy customers. If you are not familiar with groovy girls, they are wonderful soft dolls that the kids really play with. They have clothing and furniture and a horse and little pets - all cute and fun.
We have carried them since they were first introduced - way before they were so popular. Some of the dolls come with an on-line code so you can go to their website and play games and download songs. Put on your grooviest outfit and come down to Farmer's Market this Thursday evening.

Giant Games & Puzzles

This week for Farmer's Market we will showcase our Giant sized demos for the Rush Hour Puzzle (our best selling brain teaser ever) and a brand new game called "Chickyboom" from Blue / Orange games. Chickyboom is for the younger set, but still lots of fun for all ages. It's a balancing game of fun and strategy. Rush Hour is for ages 8+, however some of the easier puzzles can be done by younger kids and I had a teacher tell me that she uses it as a "following directions" activity. The solutions to the puzzles are on the back side of the puzzle card and she would read the steps and have the child follow the directions.
We have plenty of brainteasers and games & puzzles for all ages. We have played most of them and have samples to play with customers if you have questions. In this economy, a game is a great investment. You can play it many times and it is a great way to interact with your kids and friends. Whether you like strategy or just a fun party game, talk to us, we ARE the Toy Guys!

Velvet Art on Thursday, Aug 20

The Klutz guys do it best. This book is full of fun pictures to color and includes bright markers to fill in the space between the velvet. Stop by this Thursday during Farmer's Market and color your own picture or bookmark while supplies last. This craft is pretty much foolproof because you can't really color outside the lines (thick velvet). Everyone's work of art will be picture perfect. Take a break from "back to school" and have some fun downtown!

Immediate Consumption Day

Sometimes you just have to rip open the packaging and start playing !

Kid's Night - Thursday, Aug 13

This week, Farmer's Market is THE place for Kids to have fun. At Toys for the Fun of It, we will take over 5th Street next to Summit Canyon to play with outdoor toys. We will feature all time favorites like the giant bubble wand, stomp rockets, ram rockets, and hula hoops. Maybe we'll play a game of Boochie Ball or hopscotch. For sure - a good time will be had by all.
This is a special Kid-oriented market... The last Hurrah before school starts. Come down with the whole family and have some FUN!

Aug. 6th Play with Puzzibits

This week during Farmer's Market we will have a big pile of puzzibits out to play with. Puzzibits are colorful hexagonal pieces made of a thick, flexible vinyl that "weave" together. You can make flat designs or 3-D items with them. You can follow directions or create your own designs. I love toys that are open-ended like that. We have put them in our puzzle section, but they could just as easily be a construction toy or a craft. Puzzibits are for kids ages 5+, maybe younger with adult supervision. Come down this Thursday and play with us!
