Store Closing

March — April 2014

Planet Happy’s mission is to promote imaginative and intelligent play while setting a higher standard for children’s products. We focus on carrying beautifully crafted natural wooden toys, games, books, and more. All of our products fall into at least one of the following categories: socially responsible, all natural, organic, fairly traded, green (environmental awareness), recycled, and mom-owned.

We also have drop-in projects including a Button Bar (design your own button pins) and a Bath & Beauty Bar (make all-natural fragrances, lotion & bath salts). Our drop-in stations are open the same hours as our store — no appointment needed.

Note: We now have a public restroom and limited FREE Parking behind the store.

History

Established in 2006.

Planet Happy was born in 2006 as a just a website with a mission: play. learn. sustain. In April 2007, Bridgett built a little shop with a unique vision: an eco-friendly store that was also a boutique and a kid-friendly play space. With the help of the store mascots: Buttercup (the hedgehog) and our feathered friends (resident doves & finches), people quickly fell in love with the welcoming mood of the space. Her creation blossomed into a whimsical kind of toy store with open spaces and not so many boxes, but toys out to play with before you decide to buy.

In November 2008, Bridgett sold the store to best friends: Kelly & Kaylene. With their goal to carry on the mission and make it spectacular — Planet Happy has come a long way from just selling eco-friendly toys. We have drop-in craft stations, weekly craft classes, story time, birthday parties & more! We have an even wider range of eco-friendly toys, games and books. And the mascots are still here… so stop in and say hello!

Meet the Manager

Breah F.

Manager

Since I started in 2007, I have completely fallen in love with the unique space called Planet Happy (formerly Worldwide Child). Being young myself, I fit right in with the atmosphere of this wonderful toy store. I quickly became the store manager as Bridgett taught me the ins and outs of running the store. When Bridgett was diagnosed with Crones Disease, there was a major downfall in Bridgett’s amazing enthusiasm & energy. Running the store and taking care of her daughter while having this disease became too much to handle, so Bridgett sold the store in November 2008.

The new owners, Kelly & Kaylene fell in love with the store at first sight. They believed strongly in Planet Happy’s mission and wanted to see it flourish. With the two of them at the helm, Planet Happy remains a MOM-Owned company! I have worked with these wonderful ladies for the past year and I have had the chance to see the store blossom tremendously.

This is a small store with excellent customer service and lots of things for kids. You can even make your own lotion here and choose your fragrances. They have books and creative things. I probably won’t be back and it’s a nice place for other people to enjoy. Probably best for folks with children.

We just held my daughter’s 4^th birthday party at Planet Happy, and we couldn’t be… happier! The staff was outstanding and worked well with the children as they led them through building glass terrariums (which are beautiful). If children wanted to get up and roam around a bit (which happened because we had 2 under 2), it wasn’t a problem. There was a bit of foot traffic coming in (people shopping in their little store), but it really wasn’t a big deal. The staff was also extremely responsive via email and phone leading up to the party, answering all of my questions. It’s a beautiful store, with great people. I think the price per child was a bit steep, but other than that, it was nearly perfect. We’re fans!
P. S. The little birds and hedgehog are pretty neat too!

Planet Happy Toys is a beacon of hope in a world of lead-painted Spongebobs and toxic sippy cups. What sets this place apart is that the owner has painstakingly researched the companies she works with, so that you can be assured when you shop here you are buying toys that are as safe for the kids as they are for their mother (earth, that is). Each toy’s price tag has a little code to clue you in on all the socially responsible highlights of that particular item, like whether it’s organic, fair trade, green, etc.
Some of the toys might seem a bit pricey, but you’re paying for quality and peace of mind (plus importing them from somewhere other than China). What makes up for any heartburn over the pricetag, though, is that for every $ 10 spent here, they will plant a tree!
The space is small, but they still manage to have something for everyone, from babies on up. The little back toy nook has a fun hands-on play area and a cool sailboat seat to climb on, and up front there’s a low table and chairs for testing out toys or joining in the activities, classes, and parties that they host from time to time. Planet Happy’s owner is very friendly and happy to chat or help you find what you’re looking for. The store has some pet mascots, too, in the form of a little hedgehog and a teeny flock of colorful birds. All good reasons to take a detour from U Village to this eco-friendly neighborhood toy shop!

I love the idea of this place — it’s nice to know that if you do buy something here it will be eco friendly and sustainable. I find that really important. I personally love the hedgehog and birds they have always looked very clean and happy places to me.

A nice concept but very very pricey for a neighborhood toy store. It’s very cluttered, hard to walk around without touching stuff. No bathroom. Birds in cages, fun for kids, but not everyone likes to see animals caged up. Owner seemed to watch what you were doing when kids were playing with different stuff. Not a whole lot of variety in toys, yes wooden, eco friendly stuff, but very bland stuff. My kids didn’t want to pull much off the shelves to try out.

So I checked this place out with my 2 year old. Great concept, lots of cool stuff and fun activities for the kids to see and do. A couple problems– no bathroom– not sure how this could be the case but I asked for one to change a very stinky diaper but was denied– had to go out to the car to do it, seems strange for a children’s store where they want you to spend time. The other– the birds they have caged were dying of thirst. I watched them freak out for about 10 minutes then finally said something, not sure how long they were without water… the other thing, they staff was just not friendly. Hopefully this improves someday, I would love to go back but just to inconvenient for now.
