We spoke about the legendary Winnipeg toy store Toad Hall Toys and our Classical Kid of the Month with owner Kari England.

Toad Hall Toys was founded in 1977 by Ray and Ann England with the goal of creating a toy store unlike any other and providing parents and caregivers options to mass merchant offerings. They succeeded. Toad Hall Toys is a unique and memorable store that can bring out the inner child in anyone.

Today Toad Hall is run by Ray and Ann's daughter Kari, who maintains the high standards, set by her parents many years ago. Kari and Ray hand-pick all of the toys that are sold in the store, and several a times a year you can find them at various toy fairs throughout the US and Canada.
