Pun's Toys- "Hape" Educo Magnetic Marble Mazes

In the toy world, it is difficult to come across a great toy that is functional, safe, and age appropriate for a 2 year old. Everything looks baby-ish or has chocking hazards or is just beyond their age level. Well, the Educo Magnetic Marble Mazes fit the niche perfectly. We stock several different themes from trains and school buses to farm animals. The item is a wooden board with a maze carved out, underneath a solid clear cover. It is filled with many different color marbles (which are self-contained) that the child moves around the maze using the magnetic wand attached to the board (so it is never misplaced). It is the perfect toy to take to restaurants, or keep them busy in the car because it fits inside most carry bags or purses. The prices range from $17-$45 and the value is incredible. Not only is it a well made wooden toy, it will help promote your child's coordination and imagination. See them on our website (www.punstoys.com) under the "Preschool" category or stop in for a first hand look. Hope to see you soon.

The staff here at Pun's has over 50 years of combined toy experience, and an eagerness to help. We are a service-oriented one-stop shop: we have a great selection of toys/gifts, we wrap them up, and assemble if necessary (we even have the greeting cards for the occasion). We understand that the holidays are a stressful time with all the kids events at school, the family coming to visit, and the headaches of traveling- at least we can make the shopping enjoyable. Stop in to our store on the Main Line of Philadelphia, or visit us online at http://www.punstoys.com/. We hope to hear from you and to make this holiday as stress-free as possible.

Pun's Toys- Goffengel Workshop Pop-Up Albums

A great find at the NYC Gift Show this summer was the line of pop-up photo albums from Goffengel Workshop. These are the next generation in photo albums, with each page having a main, center pop-up feature, along with several smaller pop-ups around the edges. There are three different styles that we stock: The Baby Photo Album, Rocket to Pluto (geared more for boys), and Fairytale Dreams (for the girls). All of these albums can be found on our website at www.punstoys.com. They sell for $69.99 and are well worth it, the quality and originality they offer will last a lifetime. The books hold 41, 32, and 36 pictures (respectively) and the albums can be stored in there thick, decorative cardboard cases for safe keeping. The Rocket to Pluto and Fairytale Dreams albums are perfect for ages 3 and up, not to mention a great craft and bonding idea for parents and children. I feel that the Baby Photo Album is a perfect New Baby or Baby Shower gift for the people in your life who have everything.

Pun's Toys- Halloween Costumes

We here at Pun's do not have "Halloween" costumes, per say. We do not carry Power Ranger, Batman, Superman, or Disney Princess outfits specifically. In keeping with our vision of letting children use there imaginations, we stock (all year round) a wide variety of "Dress-Up" clothes. We have things for boys and girls to transform themselves into anything from a fairy princess to an astronaut to a witch to a superhero. The dresses, outfits, and numerous accessories we carry are made of top quality fabrics and are designed to last (for more than just Halloween night). Who says kids can only dress-up one night a year? The website, www.punstoys.com, shows a few of the items you will find in the Dress-Up section of the store, but it is a very small sampling. Please don't hesitate to call us at 877-525-9789 or email me at joejr@punstoys.com to find out what we have available for your little ones.

Pun's Toys- Playmobil

Here at Pun's, we are firm believers in expanding your child's imagination and creativity. There is no better toy to help with this than PLAYMOBIL. A beautifully made German toy that puts your child's imagination in overdrive. There is a line for kids 1.5 years old to 3 years called 1-2-3, that contains no choking hazards and introduces this amazing line at a young age. From this, it develops into one of the most detailed products on the market, for ages 4 through 10+ years. The themes are very diverse (boy or girl); from Dinosaurs, Circus, and Romans to Farms, Dollhouses, and Zoo. It is one of those toys where it never gets old, there is always a new piece to add to an existing theme, or even mix themes to create a world full of adventure and surprise. We have one of the biggest selections in the area for such a small store, but it is worth it because of its popularity. Stop in and see what we have or contact us with any question @ 1-877-525-9789 or joejr@punstoys.com.

Pun's Toys- Sticky Mosaics

The HOTTEST items at Pun's right now are the Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics. They are an incredible craft project for children ranging from ages 4 through 10 years old. Essentially, they are the old fashioned color-by-numbers with self adhesive foam stickers instead of crayons or paint. And talk about value- each design takes about an hour to complete. Many different sizes and themes make the mosaics one of the most universal/gender-neutral gifts we carry: Princess, Fairies, Unicorns, Dragons, Dinosaurs, and the list goes on and on. The main size set (consisting of 4 designs, 4 plastic hangers, and over 3000 stickers) is $16.99 and fits into the birthday party price point perfectly (and we wrap for FREE). Several styles can be found on our website, www.punstoys.com under the "arts and crafts" link, or you can see the entire line in our store.
