Toys and treasure: The Toy Shop – Hanmer Springs
A toy shop is a treasure chest of variety – one that empowers children to explore and build their confidence and there’s none better than this Hanmer Springs toy haven.
Children learn through play, and toys are gadgets that encourage them to discover the world. To pinpoint that treasure chest is to wander down the path beside Hanmer Springs’ Four Square supermarket. Just a few steps, at 12a Conical Hill Road, you’ll find The Toy Shop tucked away.
Loved by locals and visitors alike, the store is a wonderful place to while away an hour or so browsing, especially if the weather is a bit inclement. From animals to jigsaws, from squishies to crafts and puzzles, from the educational to the purely weird and wonderful, there is something here for every child fortunate enough to step inside.
Yet it’s not only children who are enthralled. The Toy Shop Hanmer Springs has goodies for grown ups too, including indulgent chocolates, beautiful stationery, customised T-shirts, mugs, and bags.
Jeff and Nicky Cannell became the store’s guardians in April. Locals themselves and with a large family of ranging ages, the pair know what appeals to customers both young and old.
“Since we took over we have extended the trading hours and added more items to our selection for an even greater appeal,” says Jeff and Nicky. “Come in and immerse yourself.”
