All Things Kids On The Square

Love the unique toys and other treasures they have to offer. I always enjoy bring my child here. The staff is very friendly and they fit in with Georgetown’s family atomsphere. I’ve met the owner a few times and he was very welcoming. Some of the toys are a bit pricey, but they aren’t things you would find at a Walmart.

A toy store with a mission to help kids play and create. Love this little toy store in the middle of Georgetown center. All of their toys are imaginative and do not require batteries. Karen gave us a lot of useful local information.

Two stars for the great selection of toys and books. My kids really love exploring new places and I love supporting local and small businesses.
However, we’ve been to this store several times this past year and each time we experience less than courteous service. I’ve come in by myself, with my kids, with my fiancé, and with all 4 of us and each time we get treated like we shouldn’t even be in the store. Like we’re beneath the expectations of what they want in a customer. My fiancé went in on his own and said he was treated well. I didn’t believe him since I’ve continually had bad service, but my kids love the store so we keep going. So we went with him and sure enough, he was treated very well. When I asked a question, I had the associate talking to me in a snooty voice and an attitude that implied I wasn’t smart enough to comprehend her answer to my question.
After that, I decided never to step foot in that store again. Out of all the places we’ve shopped in the square, I’ve never been treated like I wasn’t good enough to shop there or not even given common courtesies like saying hello or receiving a smile. It was like the scene from Pretty Woman when the snotty shop ladies told her they didn’t have anything to sell her. Cue sad music…

This store is absolutely adorable! I love that all of the toys are made of wood. It just reminds me of the toys I had growing up. I walked in here one day on my lunch break because I was exploring the square. And I ended up leaving with a toy for my kids to share. The woman working the counter was very friendly and offered a military discount because she saw my ID. (I did not ask for the discount) This to me is a huge plus! Will defiantly return.

Very nice toy store. A little overly priced on certain items. Example is they charge $ 103 for the EzyRoller where a toy store in Plugerville charges $ 99 for it. They have some really cool wooden toys. Theybalso have Frozen wall art that I know my little princess will like one day. Very spacious to shop and look around. They also have some cool four wheeled pedal cars. But for the price of them I would rather get my kids a power wheel car. They do have a great selection of childrens books here. Definitely a store you need to check out when you shopping at the square.

Iike fun

I very like!
I let my 5year old write the first part of the review.
Old school toys and candy bring back memories and its great to share with my little ones. I purchased a Tea Party set made in the USA from recycled plastics for Christmas. The shopping bag was so nice I didn’t have to gift wrap it.

I brought my kids in to find out what they wanted for their birthdays that are coming up soon. My husband was waiting right outside to take them to another store once I knew what they wanted so that I could go back in and buy the toys. As we were walking out a male employee picked up the toy that my daughter had just put down and walks up to me with it and proceeds to question me saying something was wrong with it as if my daughter had messed it up somehow! This was one of the toys I was coming right back in to purchase for her and she was standing right there. So, instead of coming back in to purchase it and some other items I left embarrassed and livid. Service matters more than anything. They could have had a loyal customer but I was treated so poorly that I will not come back.

We don’t have kids, but my husband and I are perpetual kids at heart. We LOVE toys stores! Couldn’t resist going into All Things Kids when strolling the Town Square on a lazy Sunday.
A great assortment of toys for all ages. New and nostalgic. Classic candy section too (Pop Rocks!).
ATK also has a Play Zone for private parties and such. And, they offer Summer Classes that include topics like Lego Robotics and Magic in Motion. I REALLY like the owner’s approach here! All of the classes are STEM based = fun with a purpose! In my opinion, it’s so important to get children involved in STEM areas; especially for girls who are so greatly underrepresented in the fields today. If I did have children they would be enrolled. Impressive!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Note: They recently opened another store located in The Domain.

I found my way to this store in search of the currently elusive Goldie Blox toy/​game. I had gone to the manufacturer’s site and was calling stores one by one in the Central Texas area and no one seemed to have it. I called All Things Kids this morning, and not only did they have it, but they had eight (I almost shouted «I’ll take eight!» in my best Zoidberg impression, but strangers often don’t get my humor). I told them I would come by later in the day and pick one up and headed on my way there.
One thing to keep in mind if you are coming from Austin is that if you are not paying attention to the route that Google Maps gives you, you may be tempted to exit IH35 north at University where Ikea is. That is the wrong University exit to take. You need to progress farther north to Georgetown and take the University exit there. Further, Google maps tells you to turn south onto Main street from University, but you will need to go north, towards the courthouse (easily visible with a dark dome and a man on top). All Things Kids is on the east side of the street as you head north on Main.
Back to my review, though. On my way to the store, I stopped to call them again because Google was telling me I was there and I didn’t see the store. They patiently gave me great directions to the store, and I arrived there a few minutes later. Karen, whom I believe is the proprietor, and her son were there, and it turns out she was kind enough to set aside one of the Goldie Blox sets for me, even though I hadn’t asked for it.
The store itself has a great layout, and if I hadn’t been in such a hurry to get my item and hit the road to get to a 5 year old’s birthday party in Houston, I could have easily spent an hour perusing the shelves at all the great stuff. As an aside regarding some of the notes about pricing, the set I bought was $ 29.99+tax (note this is the standard retail cost for this product). Not cheap, but it is a brand new toy to market and they could easily command a premium for this item given its scarcity. They did not and I appreciate that.
I don’t normally leave reviews of businesses. Partly (mostly) because I’m lazy and when I remember to leave a review, I’m not near a computer, but at All Things Kids, they treated me quite well, made for a great shopping experience and were just all around nice, so I made a point of leaving a review for them as soon as I found myself near an internet connected keyboard, laziness be damned.
Thanks once again for a great experience and for taking great care of your customers!

We took our daughter here today as a Kindergarden graduation present. She loved it and I thought it was really nice here. What I thought was best was the way that every toy seemed hand selected for its quality and general awesomeness.
It is fairly pricy, every book for example is at full MSRP. I know we have been spoiled in this day and age with the pricing at B&N and Amazon, but it’s still hard to stomach $ 25 for a book you can get for 12 online.
But if you are going for a really tailored experience for you and your little ones and you value the atmosphere of a toy/​candy shop, this place is for you.

Wonderful little shop on the square full of toys that will not rot your kids’ brains. Owner Christian helped me find a cute little hand-​made teddy bear that smells like lavender and can be heated or cooled before giving to the child (my nephew in this case). I will definitely be returning here for for my future child gift-​giving needs.

What an incredibly cool place! It’s like walking into an old time toy store off of a little main street in a small town. The toys are amazing. Expensive! But family heirloom quality. These are the toys you keep to pass on to your grandchildren.
We paid the $ 5 to play in the little back room with all of the toys. What a fantastic idea! And you can play all day, even if you leave and come back (with receipt, of course). We had train tracks sprawled across the play area, puzzles, blocks, cars, wooden construction trucks. .. can you tell this was a boy’s paradise? Not that girls can’t enjoy as well, but most of the toys in this area are building toys, engineering toys, figuring out how things work toys. Not a whole lot of make believe or dolls.. . While we were there the room was 90% boys.
I appreciated that there was one employee who helped show the kids how the toys works and sat on the floor and played with them. She wasn’t a babysitter, but she was able to help out with any issues that popped up.
I can’t wait to go back and browse the toys for sale a little more thoroughly.

This is definitely a get what you pay for type of place. Yes, the toys are expensive, but they are going to last. How many of us buy battery operated toys only to breathe a sigh of relief when they die, never to be replaced again? Not only that, but the kids rarely play with them after the first few days. I prefer natural wooden toys for several reasons: they are less annoying, they get the kids to use their imaginations, wood is more durable, better for the environment than plastic toys, safer due to recalls, and kids just seem like them better. I wish I could afford to throw out all my kids crap toys and replace them with many of the things in this store. The play area is very affordable and my kids could have stayed there all day. It definitely helped to know what they played with the most so I know what to put on their gift lists. I also got a pure rubber teether there for my son and it’s the only infant teether he will use, and I have tried dozens.

I don’t have kids. I do know an amazing kids store when I see one though. A friend and I were walking around the Georgetown square when we headed into this wonderful store. Very quickly we began a lengthy conversation with one of the owners, a delightful woman, originally from England. Turns out her husband is from Germany but they are now in Georgetown. What a coup for the square.
The toys here reflect a more Eurocentric outlook. Simply put, there are no cheap, Chinese plastic heaps of crap here. No dumbing down, worthless junk. Instead, all the toys are solid, well built and will last a lifetime. In other words, hand me downs, not future landfill consignees. The emphasis seems to be on fun and learning… sad, but it seems in this day and age that’s a novel concept. All the various sets have a sign notating their country of origin. Germany and Switzerland seem to be the most popular countries of manufacture, but there were also toys made in the U.S.A., England, Latvia, etc. It seemed as if many of the toys were made from wood, and crafted with great detail. I could see many future engineers starting out here.
Along one wall were great children’s books. Actually if I remember correctly, they were the top 100 children’s books. Old and new were on that wall; classics like the Polar Express, to books my Mom used to read to me when I was but a wee little terror.
They also offer all kinds of classes during the summer, and the back part of the room appeared to be rented out for a party when I was there.
So if you have a kid, please do them, yourself, the world, and me a favor. Turn off the TV, throw down that candy, and bring them to this wonderful store. The owners tapped into something all too rare today; quality, fun, and learning, all bundled into one package.
Oh yeah, it does not hurt that there is a great music store next door (instruments, strings, banjos, etc.) and a kick ass coffee shop about 100 feet away (their toddy coffee rocks).
