Ranking the best toy store Los Angeles has to offer may come with some debate but if you’re looking for puzzles, games, crafts and more to give or just looking for some fun ways to keep little ones entertained, these favorite Los Angeles toy shops are worth your time and money. We all but guarantee these not-so-hidden gems in LA will have that one-of-a-kind, most thoughtful toy you’re looking to give. So whether you’re looking for a holiday gift, a birthday present for an upcoming birthday party, or just an excuse to celebrate your little ones—there’s a toy store nearby that will fulfill all your novelty gifting needs.

The Best Toys Stores in Los Angeles

1. Huzzah!

When it comes to toy stores, grown-ups want to have as much fun as the kids and at Huzzah! in Venice, you can. The mom in you will love the selection of alternative, non-mass market toys the store specializes in (read: no animatronic baby Yoda dolls making the same noise over and over), while the big kid in you giggles over the “grown-up toys” like a Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure. Your toy-loving tykes can explore educational toys that are actually way cooler and more entertaining than they imagined.

Don’t Miss: Toys like the new and improved Speak & Spell learning toy from the '80s or their ginormous unicorn sprinkler are great ways to keep cooped up kids both educated and active (while having fun in the process). Huzzah understands that littles and parents alike are looking for new and interesting ways to beat boredom and have certainly risen to the challenge!

2. Toy Crazy

The Brentwood Country Mart already exudes idyllic nostalgia, which makes it the perfect home for a quaint-feeling toy shop like Toy Crazy. These classic, timeless toys define inspired playtime and will remind you of your own childhood while being equally delightful for your pint-sized players. Every item for sale, from classic board games to unique outdoor toys, is meticulously hand-picked by the owner, and seasoned toy connoisseur, Melissa Moore, to ensure the most engaging, get-them-off-the-couch play experiences for your little ones (which is now more important than ever!).

Don't Miss: What's the only thing better than an awesome toy store? One that's right next to an amazing ice cream shop. Sweet Rose Creamery is right next door and is a must-stop for seasonal ice cream flavors and sundaes—may we recommend the Campfire? A sundae filled with salted caramel ice cream, a chocolate hardshell, torched marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.

3. Miracle Mile Toys & Gifts

This neighborhood boutique toy store has all the stuff we love, along with a staff exceptionally well-versed in all the toys on hand. Here's where you can stock up on not-so-easy-to-find toys that you’ll kinda want to steal from your kids. Like the "Kid Activist" doll from the Lottie Dolls line, a 500-piece round "Women March" puzzle, or a set of hand-painted wooden "community helper" dolls made with sustainably forested wood and painted with non-toxic materials.

4. Tom's Model

More like a collectible shop than a full-on toy store, Tom's Model deserves a mention based on its cool factor alone. Known for their extensive collection of both common and rare Funko POPs (vinyl figures depicting licensed characters from your favorite franchises), this unique hobby stop also offers hard-to-find Lego kits, pop culture character backpacks, and even has a collection of battery-operated animal toys! Nestled into the heart of the DTLA toy district, Tom's Model certainly values function over form so don't expect to walk into a kid-themed play space. What they lack in store aesthetics, however, they make up for in selection and product knowledge.

5. The Acorn Store

At this shop, in addition to a super friendly and helpful staff, you'll find a huge selection of high-quality natural, wood or natural fiber-based toys—it almost feels like you've stepped into a magical toy store in Switzerland but in reality, you've entered one of the best toy stores in California. In addition to dolls, dollhouses, wooden figures, books, and dress-up clothes, you'll also find arts and crafts, even puppets and yo-yos for hours of creative play.

6. Treehaus

We love neighborhood spots that also give back to the community and Treehaus in Atwater Village is one of the best toy stores in California. This eclectic boutique started out as a pop-up shop in a vintage VW bus and has grown into a stylish hub with high-quality offerings. There's everything from organic baby rattles and DIY kits that let kids build to their heart's content to plush dolls that are so cute, that you'll absolutely allow your kid to bring home another to add to their collection. 

Don't Miss: Moms can stock up on their fashionable line of breezy culottes that are great for feeling lovely while lounging.

7. Yolk

If you're looking for cool stuff that appeals to all ages, this Silver Lake boutique store has a little bit of fun for everyone. From distinctive gifts and quality toys to kids' clothing and creative homewares, Yolk is the place to go for the kind of unique flair not generally available from mass-market stores. Stop in to snag a one-of-a-kind gift (Bonus: they do free gift wrapping on-site) and don't be surprised if you end up leaving with one (or three) things for yourself!

Don't Miss: Their line of adorably hysterical food-themed socks is a must-have (who doesn't need avocado socks in their lives?) and their girls' bathing suits are sure to cause quite a splash.

8. Kip's Toyland

Established in 1945, LA's oldest toy store is a must-stop for both locals and tourists. Located in The Original Farmer's Market, it is full of cool and fun finds for both kids and adults. And while it's not the biggest toy store in Southern California, you’ll still find a great selection of classic and retro toys. If you've been wanting to get a Lite-Brite—this is your spot.

9. Dinosaur Farm

A unique twist on novelty toy stores in California, this Jurassic Era-inspired spot for T-Rex lovers is a must-stop and Dave, the owner, is all about helping foster that dino-love. Of course you'll find everything you need related to dinosaurs but if you're looking for something specific, and Dave doesn't have it, he'll track it down for you. Aren't a fan of those larger-than-life eating machines? There's a Pink & Purple Room, a book area, an infant area, and a science section and a game section. They take great care in stocking the store with unique, quality toys and encourage hands-on play in different parts of the store.

Lifestyle blogger, Alexandra Hedin has been taking her know-how on cooking, decorating, and being the consummate hostess to the masses following the publication of her book Entertaining at Home. She’s a mom to two small kids (with another one on the way) and will be documenting the transformation of her new home into an expressions of her style on her blog. We asked her to come up with a fun St. Patrick’s day project to do with kids, and she offered up this post for us:

I like St. Patrick’s Day.  It’s a kooky holiday that lets you get away with almost everything.  And given how much I like Corned Beef Hash, this holiday makes the best ‘morning after’ leftovers breakfast.  This year I wanted to create a few fun things to add a little festivity to the whole day, not just wearing green.  Don’t forget that it’s the little things that make the day special and fun, so relax, make a few things, and have a great St. Patrick’s Day!

Since I love Irish Soda Bread, I generally just make two loaves so I can eat one as toast for breakfast or as a sandwich with left over corned beef, and the second one is for everyone at dinner.  This year I wanted to do something different for breakfast and it seemed like Irish Soda Bread was perfectly suited to be turned into scones.  I realize if you are actually Irish, the idea of turning a national food symbol into something entirely British is blasphemy.  But they really are delicious.

Irish Soda Bread Scones

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg
4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups raisins
3 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl whisk together yogurt, butter, and egg.  Set aside.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the rest of the ingredients until well mixed.  With mixer running, slowly add wet ingredients until mixture just barely holds together.

Drop dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently 10-15 times to form a 12″ disk about 2 inches thick.  With a floured knife, cut disk into eight triangles.  Place on a cookie sheet with about 3 inches around each triangle.  Whisk together egg yolk and cream and brush the tops of each triangle until completely covered.  Place cookie sheet into a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven, cool slightly on a rack and serve warm.

St. Patrick’s Day Hair Bow

When I was a little girl we had big hair bows that we wore all the time.  I think a hair bow never goes out of style for a little girl, and whether she loves them or not, everyone wants something fun to wear on St. Patrick’s Day.  And if you are feeling a little old for the hair bow option, simply glue a pin back on the ribbon instead of a barrette and you are ready to go—and quite festive.

You’ll need

6 inches of 2″ thick green stripe ribbon
4 inch squares of green dupioni silk (4 dark green, 2 light green)
4 inch square of white canvas
Fusible Web (available at the fabric store)
Hot glue gun
Barrette base (available at craft stores)

Step 1 :: Using the Fusible Web, iron together two pieces of dark green dupioni silk.

Step 2 :: Cut out a shamrock shape from the fused silk.  The Fusible Webstops major fraying and allows a perfect shape without stitching.  To make a shamrock draw three hearts touching in an arc and a stem from the bottom.

Step 3 :: Fold the ribbon over to create a 90 degree angle in the middle – as if the ends of a tied bow.

Step 4 :: Hot glue ribbon to barrette base.

Step 5 :: Cut each remaining piece of fabric into 3 inch diameter circles by folding the fabric in half three times and cutting an arc across the top of the folds.

Step 6 :: While fabric is still folded, cut a small slit into each fold and once in the center of the ‘triangle.’

Step 7 :: Unfold all fabric circles and layer them on top of each other – white, dark green, light green.  And re-fold in half three times.

Step 8 :: Stitch the base of each fabric ‘triangle’ to secure it’s shape.

Step 9 :: Hot glue triangles to ribbon base on the barrette with the center of each triangle touching and the wide ends fanning out.

Step 10 :: Hot glue the shamrock to the center of the triangle pieces and fluff the fabric triangles.

 

 

Cookies stuffed with a chocolate hazelnut spread? We’re sold. And, so is our D.C. Editor, Ayren who discovered this recipe last year on Pinterest when she was looking for a sweet treat for a cookie swap. They were so delicious that she promised herself she’d make them on a yearly basis. Here’s to year two!

Ingredients: 
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plain greek yogurt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 jar of chocolate hazelnut spread, chilled in refrigerator
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Method:
1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam. Make sure you whisk consistently during this process. After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown on the bottom of the saucepan; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer the butter to a bowl to prevent burning. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

2. With an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, yolk, vanilla, and yogurt until combined. Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low-speed just until combined. Gently fold in all of the chocolate chips.

3. Chill your dough for 2 hours in the refrigerator, or place in freezer for 30 minutes if you are super eager, although I cannot promise the same results if you do this.

4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Once dough is chilled measure about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten the dough ball very thinly into the palm of your hand. Place 1 teaspoon of chilled hazelnut spread in the middle and fold dough around it; gently roll into a ball — it doesn’t have to be perfectly rolled! Make sure that the hazelnut spread is not seeping out of the dough. Add more dough if necessary. Place dough balls on cookie sheet, 2 inches apart and flatten with your hand VERY gently. (Really only the tops need to be flattened a bit!)

5. Bake the cookies 9-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. They will look a bit underdone in the middle, but will continue to cook once out of the oven. Cool the cookies on the sheets at least 2 minutes. Sprinkle with a little sea salt. Remove the cooled cookies from the baking sheets after a few minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

cream cheese christmas tree cookies

Your cookie cutters may sit in a bag in the cupboard for eleven months out of the year, but once the holidays arrive it’s go time. Kristina Moy, Red Tricycle’s Seattle Editor, whips out her Christmas tree cookie cutter each year to make her favorite recipe: cream cheese Christmas Tree cookies with vanilla frosting. She tells us that the recipe works best if you double it, use one 8 oz. package of cream cheese and refrigerate the dough for at least two hours before rolling it out.

Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg yolk. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour until well blended. Chill the dough for 8 hours, or overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/3 at a time to 1/8 inch thickness, refrigerating remaining dough until ready to use. Cut into desired shapes with lightly floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Leave cookies plain for frosting, or brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with candy sprinkles or colored sugar.

4. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light and golden brown. Cool cookies completely before frosting.

Artichoke Pie

Artichokes will become your kids’ new favorite food after taking a bite of this savory artichoke pie. With gooey cheese, flaky pie crust and soft and chewy artichokes we bet you can even sneak in other veggies or protein when you whip up this kid-approved dish.

Ingredients:
One pre-made crust and top crust
2 eggs, 1 yolk for egg wash (optional)
1/4 cup parmesan
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 package frozen artichoke hearts
Garlic
Salt & Pepper

Method:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350

2. Defrost frozen artichokes (this can be done in the morning before school) and cut defrosted artichokes into bite-sized pieces with scissors.

3. Sautee in garlic and oil, season with salt and pepper to taste (easy on the salt, as there is a lot of cheese) and let cool slightly.

4. Mix eggs, cheeses, and hearts in large bowl.

5. Add to bottom crust and cover with top crust (cover with egg wash if desired).

6. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until golden-brown

This delicious recipe comes to us courtesy of the Vano family in Yonkers, NY. 

While we’re the first to admit that deviled eggs have a reputation for being a little tricky and definitely fattening, done the right way, they are neither time consuming nor unhealthy. They are in fact, quite wholesome. Plus, kids love them.

Consider the duo of deviled eggs in the photo:  once the eggs are boiled, you can knock these out in two minutes, tops. The pair of them, made with light mayo, weigh in at less than 100 calories and about 2 ½ grams of saturated fat. Give them to your kids for an afternoon snack and it will nourish and fill them up far better than anything you’ll find in any of those “100 Calorie” snack bags.

Method:
1. Start with a hard boiled, peeled egg. Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the cooked yolk, and put into a small bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise, a small pinch of salt, and a couple of turns with a pepper grinder. Mash with a fork until creamy.

2. Fill the cavity of each egg half with the yolk mixture. Top with a dash of paprika or a pinch of fresh, minced chives.

These scones are the perfect way to start any morning, not just on St. Patrick’s Day.

1 1/2 c plain yogurt
1/2 c melted butter
1 egg
4 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 c raisins

2. In a small bowl whisk together yogurt, butter, and egg.  Set aside.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the rest of the ingredients until well mixed.  With mixer running, slowly add wet ingredients until mixture just barely holds together.

3. Drop dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently 10-15 times to form a 12″ disk about 2 inches thick.  With a floured knife, cut disk into eight triangles.  Place on a cookie sheet with about 3 inches around each triangle.  Whisk together egg yolk and cream and brush the tops of each triangle until completely covered.  Place cookie sheet into a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven, cool slightly on a rack and serve warm.
