Turtle Creek

If you need to diversify your toy collection and are tired of plastic and commercial (Disney princesses) toys, I highly recommend this place. They have wooden puzzle boxes and other brainteasers, wooden puzzles that can be arranged in endless variations that even a 3yo can do (tessellations), magnet puzzles, and many more manufactured boxed puzzles and games for many different ages.
I am a firm believer in play as education for toddlers so most toys are educational but these actually challenge the mind and my toddler feels proud of herself for completing these. The prices are reasonable and much of their stuff is made near Charleston. They also have a stand with games, puzzles, and puzzle boxes in the covered marketplace.
Also, the lady that works in the store is helpful and nice. I don’t know how she managed to serve all the customers/​kids packed into the store without stressing out! The folks at the stand are pretty nice too as long as you keep the products on the table while you’re trying them out. ;)
