Located in the Wallingford Center, Imagination Toys is a super place to get art and party supplies, puzzles, and quality toys for all ages. i just went there to get birthday gifts and had the best luck and success! i vaguely explained what i was looking for and the woman working there took me on a quick lap and pointed out half a dozen great ideas.
Also- they have boxes of kids' dress-up clothes that you can rent for $20 a day. you get two boxes- a girls box and a boys box and she said they are great for 3-6 year olds!
