5 Little Monkeys

This was a great little store, but it has unfortunately closed.

This is not a store I would normally venture to, purely because it’s a smaller, privately owned store, therefore I would think it to be way expensive. Quite the contrary! I was looking for some play food for my toddlers birthday (melissa and doug brand, to be exact). So I just googled it and up popped an ad for this toy store on craigslist. I didn’t go for a week or so because I told myself the prices would be crazy. But one day I found myself with a bit of free time and I decided to pop over there. Went into building it was located in and couldn’t find it. Luckily someone pointed me in the right direction. (Note to owner… get a better sign so that someone won’t miss you like I almost did). The store itself is small and nothing glamorous, but well kept, organized and clean. The toys were dirt cheap. I couldn’t believe it. The food playsets I wanted were half the price of every other store I’ve seen. I literally cleared out the poor lady’s shelves. Got Christmas and birthday taken care of for my son for less than 100 dollars. The owner (I think) was really nice and personable. This is a very long winded review, but its because I’m really that excited about this great place. I’ve been telling all my friends with kids to go get their Christmas shopping done early. I will be back!
