Beanstalk Toy Shop

What a great little toy shop! Melrose is very lucky to have this establishment in town. They carry all kinds of high-​quality, educational toys from brands such as Haba, Plan, Melissa & Doug, and Fat Brain Toys, and the employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are higher than what you’d pay online obviously, but I’m ok with that if it means supporting a nice family business like this.

Every time we go to Beanstalk, we buy something. It is wonderful to have such a wonderful store in our hometown. They sell top notch brands that last well. The staff are always helpful… both of these keep us going back for more! Great selection of Tolo toys as well as the Green Toys — both of which our son loves.

Finally got a chance to check out this great little toy store in Melrose. I was very impressed with the selection they had. The Playmobil section takes up an entire wall and they have toys of a slightly higher quality then some of the big box stores. They have a large selection of Melissa & Doug products as well as other toys for babies and toddlers.
The main reason I was there was to check out the Lego bricks and sets. There were plenty to choose from be it the Duplo sets for kids under 4 to the larger Star Wars and Lego City sets. The very nice woman behind the register also said they can special order Lego sets if I had any specific ones in mind.
You will find the prices are slightly higher then larger retailers or online shops, but if you’re down for supporting local business then this is a great one to support. The store is extremely clean and very modern looking. I never had a local toy shop growing up but I’m glad I am able to bring my children to this one.
If you’re looking for quality toys and crafts, look no further than Beanstalk Toy Shop.

This place is something special. You can tell that everything here is lovingly hand selected– from wooden toys made in the USA to educational toys imported from Europe. Many toys are on offer to play with, and children can often be found doing just that– a good sign in a shop like this.

Every time we’ve visited, we’ve purchased a toy that was adored by it’s recipient.
