books, interactive books for infants, and even titles such as the Mad Libs series. Popular brands including LEGO, Maileg, Jellycat, and many more can be found on the shelves. For those interested in gifting an item, the friendly staff at Whiz
Kids will gift wrap your purchase for free.
“At Whiz Kids we have high standards for our choices and care- fully curate our selection of toys and books. Although we aren’t a large shop, we manage to stock a wide variety of options for kids of all ages. We love to have the perfect gift for everyone on your list, from infants to adults,” Smith said.
Whiz Kids is highly involved in giving back to the local commu- nity by providing toys, games, and books to local charities and schools for children in need. Smith notes that “it’s always been important
to me to support the children and families in our community when- ever possible.” During the holiday seasons, Whiz Kids partners with Rita’s Rainbows for two major events: the Bunny Helper Project to make Easter baskets and the

Angel Tree Project to help make the holiday season festive for local children, often working with the South County Youth Coalition, Womenade, and schools for these endeavors.
“I have the very best job in town and am so grateful for our commu- nity of families. The families who shop with us have continued to grow – the original kids from our first 15 years in business are now bringing their own kids in to shop. Whiz Kids is your neighborhood toy store, a place to learn, gather, and celebrate together,” Smith said.
For those searching for the perfect gift for a child in their life or a fun afternoon craft activity to do, visit Whiz Kids for fun and high- quality products.
