Toy Crazy

Surprise! Your tot’s finally hit the birthday circuit. Too bad gifting is now a never-ending chore.

Make it fun with a visit to A Child’s Delight. Toy mavens Deborah and Jonathan Meyer pack the small Marina space with everything from wooden playthings (Melissa & Doug, Plan) to Mattel must-haves to the complete line of Kettler trikes. Choose from a slew of books, building sets, board games, science kits, and art supplies sourced from near and far.

Too many options? Ask trained staffers for age-appropriate recs. If you still don’t see what you’re looking for, they’ll make a special order.

And even wrap your purchases gratis.

Time to celebrate.
