As a former science teacher turned stay-at-home parent, I've had the pleasure of watching Thinker Toys evolve over the years, and let me tell you, it's a true Portland treasure. The moment you step into this enchanting store, you're transported to a world of curiosity and awe. The owners' passion for providing an out-of-the-ordinary shopping experience is palpable, and their commitment to sustainability is genuinely inspiring. I mean, where else can you find sustainable wooden toys that are not only eco-friendly but also ridiculously fun? My kiddo is obsessed with the Candylab Toys, and I'm obsessed with the fact that they're made from responsibly sourced materials. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly dedicated to their craft. They took the time to help me find the perfect gift for my little one, and even threw in some expert advice on how to encourage their love of STEM. The Thinker Loyalty Rewards program is just the icing on the cake - it's a wonderful way to give back to the community and make shopping a little more rewarding. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just a kid at heart, Thinker Toys is an absolute must-visit. So, take a stroll down Capitol Highway, and get ready to unleash your inner child. Your inner scientist (and the planet) will thank you.
