Mynd & arts & toys is an absolute gem of a shop, both in terms of the lovely friednly staff who always make shopping there a pleasure to the stuning range of goods that they carry. The art side includes both a wonderful selection of art supplies, suitable for those just dabbling in the area, right up to high quality supplies for professionals & also a range of artwork & craftwork by local artists. The local work is always a pleasure to look at as it contains some beautiful one of a kind pieces, often including jewellery, textiles, knitwear, wooden pieces as well as paintings & drawings. However, my main love of the shop comes from it’s excellent toy selection. The toys in the shop are a breath of fresh air, they are nearly all wooden &/or cloth toys ranging from imaginative play items such as wooden castles & farms with figures to the most beautiful craft packs to wooden board games, including some of the most ingenious educational games. We have had a number of products from this shop & they have always been beautifully crafted, sturdy & endearing; despite being played with endlessly they all remain in excellent condition. This is a perfect shop for anybody looking to buy high quality & individual toys, outside of the range of generic plastic that appears in most shops.
