The Best Toy Stores in Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville

Hobby and Toy Central

Cheryl founded Hobby and Toy in 1985 because she loves the thrill of seeing someone find the perfect product! Hobby and Toy is a treasure trove of models, accessories, and supplies for new and experienced hobbyists but also quality toys that inspire creativity and developing minds.

This is THE place to go for Playmobil and Brio train sets – you won’t find a better selection anywhere! Hobby and Toy has expanded to three stores across SW Ontario, but the nearest is in Mapleview Mall.

Mapleview Mall, 900 Maple Ave, Burlington

https://www.hobbyandtoycentral.com/

Learning Tree Educational Store

Owned and operated by an educator who is passionate about learning at all ages. All of the staff go above and beyond with their service. I go in often looking for new and unique board games, birthday presents, and tools to support my kids learning. They carry the highest quality in educational toys, puzzles, games, resources and books.

1450 Headon Rd, Burlington

https://www.learningtreecanada.com/toys-games/

Jr Toy

A toy shop sharing space with a pool supplier seems odd, and you do have to like the smell of chlorine, but it’s definitely worth a visit if you are looking for educational, science and learning toys. The staff have always been friendly and able to offer ideas for gifts, and this is the best selection we’ve found for original science and building kits.

They have a good selection of family games as well, again, some we have not seen anywhere else. As a small store, not everything on the website is in stock locally, but online purchases can be returned to the store, saving you shipping. 

4265 Fairview St, Unit 2, Burlington

https://www.jrtoycanada.ca/

Skycraft Hobbies

We met some lovely gentlemen down at Spencer Smith last summer who told us about their boats, and helped the kids figure out their remote controls. They were so friendly and recommended Skycraft to us as somewhere to start if we were interested in models and remote control toys. If it floats, drives or flies they have it! There’s always someone knowledgeable there and they love talking to youngsters and sharing their passion.

115 Plains Rd East, Burlington

https://www.skycrafthobbies.com/

Snugglebugz

Not strictly a toy store but Snugglebugz does carry a range of sustainable, eco-friendly baby toys which encourage babies to play and learn. Made from sustainable sources with non-toxic paints, brands like Hape and Plan Toys are all here under one roof. While we are well out of the baby phase Snugglebugz is one of my favourite children’s stores and I still love looking at the nursery displays and getting nostalgic!

3245 Fairview St, Burlington

https://snugglebugz.ca

KSM Toys

If you are looking for something unique for younger children, try KSM toys. Many of their brands are European (all tested and approved for sale in Canada) and we particularly like their range of eco-friendly construction vehicles that use reclaimed wood and less plastic.

100 South Service Rd Unit 37 / 38, Burlington

https://shop.ksmtoys.com/

Citizen Kid

With its big windows and kid friendly displays, walking into this store makes me immediately feel cozy and at home (but it’s much tidier than my house). The family behind Citizen Kid are proud to carry a number of sustainable, non-toxic brands, so whether you are looking for toys or crafts there’s always something safe to use, as well as beautifully made and long lasting.

230 Locke St South, Hamilton

https://citizenkid.ca/

Simply Green Baby

Started by two sisters in 2010, Liz and Ann work hard to bring the best natural and eco-friendly products to the Oakville area, and the store carries toys, cleaning and beauty products as well.

They thoroughly research not just the product, but the packaging used and the background of the manufacturers to support those that practice fair trade, social responsibility and environmental awareness. The whole store is so calming and inviting it’s an experience just to shop there!

67 Bronte Road Unit 4&5, Oakville

A Parent’s Guide to Driving Schools in Halton and Hamilton, Ontario. As parents ourselves, we understand the importance of finding the right driving school for our teenage drivers. In this list, we’ve curated a selection of reputable driving schools that cater to the needs of both new learners and those looking to refine their skills. Join us as we navigate through the options available, ensuring a smooth and safe journey for our young drivers.

7 Drivers Ed Providers to Get Your Teenager Driving

If you have a 16 year old in your home they may be itching to get behind the wheel and driving the family vehicle.  Ontario has a 2-step process.  After completing the written test, many families turn to approved driving instructors for in class and in car driving lessons, but where to turn?

This is just a short list of program providers, so if you’re looking for even more options, click here for Government of Ontario approved driving schools.

Tips From A Parent When Picking A Driving School

My oldest can now drive, and it’s the best. But it was a bumpy road to get here. Driving school is expensive and time consuming, especially for teens eager to get out on the road.

My first tip is to DO YOUR RESEARCH when it comes to choosing a driving program. Talk to people who have used the service and ask if they remember their instructor’s name. Instructors make all the difference, and a bad one can ruin your time in the car. Yes, they should all be teaching the same skills, but they’re not unfortunately. We had to navigate some murky waters and I had to speak up more than once when we were disappointed in the service we were getting.

Secondly, speak up when something is off. Many centre owners don’t know what happens in class or in the car, and they would (probably) appreciate knowing if an employee is harming their reputation with poor service. Communicate with your kids regarding what to expect from their lessons and what to question. This is a big responsibility!

Does My Child Need A Tutor?

As a parent, you might wonder, “Does my child need a math tutor? English tutor? Maybe science? ” It’s a valid question that many parents grapple with as they navigate their child’s education journey.

While every child’s learning experience is unique, there are certain indicators that could suggest your child could benefit from a tutor. Falling grades, persistent struggles with homework, or a noticeable lack of enthusiasm for learning are common signs that your child might need extra support that a tutor near you can provide.

Certified teachers and tutors near you can provide individualized attention and tailored instruction that may be missing in a crowded classroom setting. From support with essay writing to STEM problem solving, a tutor can help bridge gaps in understanding, boost confidence, and ignite a renewed passion for learning.

Why Should I Think About Hiring a Private Tutor?

• Personalized attention: Tutors offer one-on-one instruction tailored to your child’s learning style and needs.
• Individualized pace: Academic support can adapt the pace of learning to match your child’s abilities, preventing them from falling behind or feeling overwhelmed.
• Focused learning: Tutoring services can target specific subjects or areas where your child may need extra help or enrichment.
• Confidence boost: A Successful tutoring experience can boost your child’s confidence and motivation in their studies.
• Improved study skills: Tutors can teach effective study techniques and time management skills that benefit your child beyond the tutoring sessions.
• Support for different learning styles: Tutors can adapt their teaching methods to suit how your child learns best, whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.
• Exam preparation: Tutors can offer targeted preparation for upcoming tests, exams, and assessments, helping your child perform at their best.
• Motivation and accountability: Tutors can keep your child accountable for their learning, fostering a sense of responsibility and discipline.

Remember that choosing a tutor near you should align with your child’s specific needs and goals.
