Sep 21 Where We Find Toys, Games & Supplies

We don’t buy an overwhelming number toys for West. As long as he has access to lil’ trucks (new or old) and a stack of library books (refreshed weekly), he’s usually pretty content.

But we do, of course, have a mix of playful games and activities at-the-ready throughout our home, hiding in plain sight.

Here are the most common sources we explore when searching for toys:

Plan Toys
Tender Leaf Toys
SoHandmade (Etsy)
Hand-me-downs from neighbors and friends
Local art festivals and pop-up markets
City and county libraries

“Whitney's eye for detail and her spirit of beauty creates a space that fills the visitor with warmth and welcome.
