Today I was in Stratford with my daughter Caroline and we made a pit stop at one of my favourite places – “Family and Company”?.? It is a gem of toy store unlike any other I’ve seen before.? They have the craziest collection of stuff ever.? There are very very few name brand toys.? You won’t find a Barbie or a Hot Wheel anywhere, but you will find tons of stuff that will give hours of fun to both the young and the young at heart.? Here are a few photos I snapped of some eye catchers.? There are countless puzzles and board games, little wind up toys, bubble blowers, dressup clothes, musical toys…. the list goes on and on….
Love the selection of finger puppets – including a pirate!?
I had no clue there were so many kinds of wind up toys.? This was a whole shelf, each bucket had a different toy that did something unique – they were so cool!?

Love these little monkeys!
Books & puzzles!
This was my favourite wind up toy!? This little robot was?really cute when?he was dancing!?
All the different rain boots were looked really neat lined up behind the checkout.? When you put all these things together I think it’s easy to see how Family & Co makes my awesome list!? It’s a fun place to go and shop for the kids in your life?or just to take a look around for the kid in you.?
ps.? For those of you attending my workshop this coming Saturday – one of these items will look awfully familiar when we are taking photos!? Can’t wait to see you there!
