Tomy Toys Arrive at Bus Stop Toy Shop


The new arrivals at Bus Stop Towers just seem to be appearing at a rate of knots at the moment. Today, we're delighted to unveil our range from Tomy. Obviously, everyone knows the name, and it's a bit 'bigger brand' than you're used to from us, but we couldn't resist dipping our toes into three of their ranges.

First up, there's the Tomy Bath Toys - why did we go for these? Well, particularly because we had so much fun with Octopals (pictured) in our house. The others are great too. Check the Tomy Bath Toys out here.

Next up is another well-loved favourite in our own house - Aquadraw. If you've never had Aquadraw, and you have a pre-schooler, the no-mess drawing system is a must have. Check Aquadraw out.

Last, but not least - K'Nex - way back in the depths of time, we stocked K'Nex and it was always popular with customers. Our supply dried up, but now we're delighted to welcome it back. Check out our K'Nex range here.

Lamaze Toys Launch at Bus Stop Toy Shop


New in stock this week is the fabulous range of Baby Toys from Lamaze. Each is superbly designed with the growing baby in mind. We already love them. At the moment, we've brought in a fairly small range, but if Lamaze goes down as well as we think it will with our customers, we're sure there'll be more along soon.

Check out our Lamaze range here.

Etch-A-Sketch and Plasticine

Just a quick post today, to let you know about the new arrival of a couple of Bus Stop's own childhood favourites. OK, so we're going back a few years, but Etch-A-Sketch and Plasticine are two brands which have stood the test of time and we're extremelly proud to have brought them into our line up. They're still every bit as much fun as they've always been. (And we should know, we've been doing some, erm, "product testing" in the shop here.)
