If you live in the Toronto area and you can get to one of our stores this weekend, it will be worth your while!

We have a store-wide sale that we'll be running in all of our stores (minus our Ontario Science Centre gift store and MastermindToys.com). This sale is also going to feature one of our premier lines of spring/summer outdoor toys, namely Sunny Patch Toys by Melissa and Doug!

Ok so here's the scoop: this Saturday and Sunday, May 1st and 2nd 2010:

Save 10% off of your entire purchase when you spend $25 or more including any 1 Sunny Patch Toy

Save 15% off of your entire purchase when you spend $40 or more including any 1 Sunny Patch Toy


This sale is perfect for stocking up on toys for the season! All you have to do is meet either of the spending thresholds (either $25+ or $40+), and your purchase has to include any 1 Sunny Patch Toy. Now, frankly, your purchase would probably have a Sunny Patch toy anyway, since once you have a look at this line we think you'll really love it! It is filled with great toys for the outdoors, sand & water toys for the beach, pool or bathtub, great bug and nature toys, and a really unique line of garden toys for kids, too! What's more, the vast majority of Sunny Patch Toys are priced under $10, and they start at just $4.95!

So think about it: if you have your eye on an item in our stores that's $49.95, and you add a $4.95 Sunny Patch Toy (say the Seahorse Sifter for the beach!), you save 15% off of your entire purchase of $55... that's $8.25, bringing your purchase down to $46.75!! You save AND you get a great Sunny Patch Toy! And the toy can be PART of your total for this promo... in other words, if you choose a $19.95 item and a $4.95 Sunny Patch toy, you still save 10%! The Sunny Patch item COUNTS toward your total!

OK, so let's take a look at what you're going to need to stock up on for the season: well, kites and flying toys for sure, those are awesome; ride-on toys like trikes and wagons, sure would be great to save 15% there; and it's going to rain at some point so games and great books would help with cabin fever; and why not some Lego, Playmobil and Thomas the Tank?? You can save on everything in-store! Well, almost everything... gift cards don't apply for this promotion. But I've always wondered how you play with a gift card anyway, better to go with a flying toy!

So check out our Sunny Patch Selection and I'm sure you'll find TONS of great items, and if you haven't already, watch Lisa the Toy Whiz show-and-tell the line in our video!



Hope to see you this weekend!
