Hours: Monday - Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday from noon to 5 pm

We’d like to introduce you to Pippin, a curious little squirrel always up for an adventure and good company.

Store owner Amy Rutherford, shares, “Where did the name Pippin Toy Co. come from? Pippin refers to a seed, which is ideal imagery for children. But my favorite use is that of someone who is unique, usually in a pleasant way. How delightful is that?! To me it is exactly what children are and grow up to be. Just like Mr. Rogers said, ‘You are a very special person. There is only one like you in the whole world. There's never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be again. Only you.’”

We are so excited to bring you Pippin Toy Co., a magical shop created especially for kids. We hope you'll visit soon! For our friends who aren't local, we hope you'll visit our online shop when it opens in 2024.
