We love going to Rootin' Ridge and watching the toymaker in his workshop. We also love how he leaves us alone to examine--and play with!--the toys, but is always available to answer questions. For such a small store, it's amazing how long you can spend there. They carry their own toys as well as wooden toys from the major companies such as Plan and Melissa & Doug. A refreshing change from the plasticky battery-operated marketing-driven toys that fill other stores.
