Pocketful of Kids, the first interactive toy village in RP

Oct 24th, 2008 | By | Category: Banner Story, Events, Fun, Shopping

I am sure that kids really love receiving toys especially this Christmas season. But the thing is we don’t just visit a toy store, pick whatever toy we see, pay for it and have it gift-wrapped. It would be great if the toys that we would be giving to our kids, nieces or nephews were educational and safe. Having the kids pick the toys they really want would be really great too.

Here comes, Pocketful of Kids, the very first interactive toy village in the country. It is where kids and their parents or guardians get to experience first hand the popular American and European toy brands that encourage to wonder, to discover and to learn through play which is important to the growth and development of the kids. Pocketful of Kids is not your ordinary “look, but don’t touch” toy store. At Pocketful of Kids, you can play with the toys and interact with the other kids in the village.

“The notion of bringing learning into playtime is really something that Pocketful of Kinds wanted to push. Our vision is to provide high-quality toys that help children learn and ensure that these will aid significantly in influencing a child’s mind,” explained Natalie Tanchip, founder and owner of Pocketful of Kids.

The first interactive toy village in the country carries only top-of-the-line developmental toys from reputable American and European brands such as Melissa & Doug, Learning Resources, Educational Insights, HaPe, Educo, Alex, Tatiri among others. Aside from toys, Pocketful of Kids also features books and other services for kids like a health food section and playground. The toy village also extends its reach to parents and guardians through parenting seminars and workshops conducted by no less than child experts.

“As parents, we play a vital role in equipping our children with the opportunity for growth, innovation and learning. What more effective way to do is than by providing them with toys that boost their ability to learn,” added Natalie Tanchip.

My mother, sister Dianne and I had a chance to experience how fun and exciting it is to be in the first interactive toy village in the country. It is where we feel that we’re preschoolers all over again. Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store for everyone especially for the kids at the first interactive toy village in the country:

You too can experience the fun & excitement with your kids starting this Saturday, October 25, 2008 by visiting Pocketful of Kids, the first interactive toy village in the country located at 15/F Strata 2000, Emerald Avenue, Ortigas from 10am to 7pm or call (02) 634-7888 or (02) 634-2888.

      hi, just want to ask if you are open every sunday, actually my sister requests me to look for the toy village in the internet and she wish to ask if you’re open even Sunday so that they could visit the toy village. thanks

      Hello!
      I learned about your shop from the net. Visiting your place with our 3 kids is really something to look forward to while we’re on vacation this April. We have 2 boys (5 & 6 years old) + a 2 year old daughter. Please do inform us about the activities my children could participate into and possibly the amount of time we have
      to stay to fully enjoy your place.
      Maraming salamat po!
