New and Consignment Toy store in Albany, CA - Toy Go Around, Albany, CA
I found a great toy store today in Albany, CA. People have been bringing in gently used toys for now a second generation, then when they sell they can pick out new toys or gifts. It's an amazing idea!
My son found some items for his Knight costume for only $5.00! I highly recommend this place! Once you buy something here, you may only exchange it if it it a new, unopened item.

Teaching the Alphabet - How to Build an A
This kit that I found at Mr. Mopps Toy Store in Berkeley, CA is really clever. As it states on it's package:
"W stands for WOW! It's a book, It's a game. It's a letter-building kit- and best of all, it's a great way to learn the ABC's. Each page shows you how to build a new letter with foam shapes. Children will love Sara Midda's tiny people hauling and heaving the pieces into place, as well as the hands-on fun of bringing each letter to life."
Sara Middda's previous books include the international best seller In and Out of the Garden and South of France. She lives in Sussex, England.
Includes: 11 fully safety-tested foam pieces that can be used to build all of the letters of the alphabet, and accompanying book, and a mesh storage bag. For ages 2 and up.
My review of this product- I got this so that my son could review his alphabet letters in a fun way. When we've spent more time with this book and the foam letters, I will let you know how he likes them. To me, as an educator, they seem like a really fun, engaging way to work on letters!
