Kidcore Toys is a specialty toy store, not some giant box company like Toys R Us or WalMart. Kidcore is into quality and value. These people own their store and go the extra mile to help you find the specialty toy you’re looking for. If they don’t have it, they’ll get it so that you have the perfect gift for any occasion..
Kidcore carries the largest selection of Melissa & Doug products (pretend play food, hand puppets, classic toys, stamp sets, etc) in North Texas, but also have a great selection in other specialty brands including Alex Toys, Green Toys, Taggies, Toysmith, Playmobil, International Playthings, Kidkraft, Sprig Toys, and many more.
Want to personalize your gift? They personalize gifts like totes, lap trays, and other products.
The thing I appreciate about this store is the fact that, in addition to educational toys, there are arts & craft supplies and project kits. While Squinkies is the right gift for my niece, my older nephew will get more out of the science kit.
Kidcore also has lots of travel games. So if you have any family road trips planned for the summer, stop by and get some travel games to keep the kids occupied while you’re on the road.
To make shopping easier for friends & family, kids can come in and fill-out a wish list (almost like brides-to-be registering before a wedding). That makes it easier for my mom & aunt when she’s trying to choose something for upcoming birthdays or Christmas shopping.
If you’re buying a birthday gift for another child and aren’t sure what to get, you can stop by for a grab-n-go gift. Kidcore offers Grab & Go birthday totes whi are between $30-$40 or, you may choose $30 or more of your own items to be put in the complementary tote ($12.99 value). There’s gift wrapping available. And they can personalize the tote.
For discounts and giveaways, be sure to “Like” Kidcore on their Facebook page.
