At The Creativity Institute, we do everything we can to try to help parents, grandparents and educators appreciate and nurture creativity in their children and students. We don't look for the trendiest toys or the newest gadgets in playthings. Our toy store features a wide selection of creativity-nurturing educational toys. We're all about colors, shapes and lots of imaginative play. Our goal is to help you lay a foundation for creative thought that will follow a child through life.

Toy pianos can give a child their first experience with making their own music, and even improvising. Puppets and puppet theaters and stages allow children to experience role-playing at various levels as they put on puppet shows. Building blocks let children create imaginative structures while experimenting with balance and the laws of physics. Art supplies and child-size easels let children create visual images that tell stories, capture moments and freely express themselves.

The Creativity Institute doesn't believe that every child can or should strive to be the next Picasso or Beethoven. But we do believe that every child will benefit from accessing and developing his or her own creative resources through these creative techniques and with educational toys and playthings. Creative ability at any level can enhance life satisfaction and career success, no matter what occupational avenue your child ultimately chooses. And this is the advantage we all wish for our children and why such basic creative toys as building blocks, puppets, toy pianos, soft climbers, easels and art supplies are so important throughout childhood. From quality brand names such as Children's Factory, Schoenhut, Guidecraft, KidKraft, Beka, Edushape, HaPe, Alex and more.
