Mudpuddles Toy Store

This is our family’s favorite of the toy stores in Portland, Oregon! They have a wide variety of toys with a focus on high quality toys for the preschool through tween set. Our favorite finds there are Calico Critters, science toys, craft kits, and pretend play toys.

Thinker Toys

Multnomah Village Toy Store

This Multnomah Village toy store is a local landmark! Owned by two science teachers since 1994, Thinker Toys is a whimsical toy shop in a quintessentially quirky Portland neighborhood, worth an afternoon stroll. The owners aim to source “the very best toys, designed and built to last a lifetime.” I know when we shop at Thinker Toys, my kids will get smart, hands-on toys that spark their imaginations. In 2020, they began offering online shopping as well as next-day delivery to Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and Vancouver.

Spielwerk Toys

North Portland Toy Store

This is a great stop when you’re in North Portland–pick up some “toys for the werk of play.” I love their focus on simple, natural toys that encourage open-ended play. They stay true to that mission with a play area in the store and by hosting events that inspire children to build their own toys.

The Bull & the Bee

Sellwood Toy Store

This is an adorable baby boutique that carries thoughtful gear and gifts for babies. They have sweet stuffed animals, board books, sensory toys, and wooden Montessori style toys in their Sellwood toy store. It’s perfect for the littlest ones!

*The Bull & The Bee is merging with Oodles Toys in spring 2024, and reopening at 6237 SE Milwaukie Ave as Oodles Kids. Before your visit, see their website for updates as they transition to their new space.

Piccolo Mondo

If you live on the westside, you’ve probably seen a Piccolo Mondo! They have three Portland area toy stores, in Hillsboro, Bethany, and Progress Ridge. They’re local and family-owned, with incredible customer service. They have a solid selection of quality toys from brands like Hape, Playmobil, and Melissa and Doug. It’s a fun spot to pick up a fidget toy in Portland or choose your next family Lego build!

Hammer + Jacks

SE Portland Toy Store

Hold on. Toys, balloons, and a cute little red delivery van for said toys and balloons? I’m in. They also host kid open mic nights on a big tv-shaped stage and story hours in their whimsical space–how fun is that? This is our new favorite community spot when we’re in the Foster-Powell neighborhood.
