PLAY date By Allison Hancin There may be a lapse in school hours for a few short months, but there doesn't have to be a gap in learning for the little ones. Sharpen their minds at Toys & Co., where kids will find an endless treasure trove of toys to keep them playing, solving, exploring and learning. Toys & Co.'s 9,000 square-foot shop is filled with imaginative gadgets, games, puzzles and hours of old-fashioned fun. Stocked floor to ceiling with the hottest brands, along with rare and specialty toys, this Carolina-rooted business offers something for all ages. You'll frequently find the doors perched wide open, inviting both kids and kids at heart to come in and explore. Your June visit to Toy & Co. is the perfect opportunity to stock up on everything you'll need for the remainder of summer break. Stay active on warm days with sports sets and games or get ready for epic sandcastle building contests with colorful pails and shovels. Regardless of their interests, children find what speaks to them at Toys & Co. Collectors hunt down the missing members of their army fleet or Barbie posse, while jewelry makers get their hands on personal crafting kits. Wander into the science and nature section for a lesson in squirmy bugs and creepy critters. Or even shop the latest trends in backpack couture. At Toys & Co., curiosity is rewarded, and test runs are encouraged. In demo areas, kids give flight to toy airplanes and speed to race cars. For those looking for a guide to the newest contraption, the helpful staff is on deck to show off the bells and whistles. You can also fill boring summer days with events at Toys & Co. Join in the fun at live music singalongs or swap your hand at weekly trading posts. Creativity abounds at arts and crafts workshops, where Picassos- in-training can hone their drawing, painting and building talents. With the endless options on hand, choosing the right gift or hunting down the season's newest toy is easy, but, fair warning, ending playtime at Toys & Co. won't be. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF IMAGINATION AND A LOT OF ADVENTURE, EMBARK ON THIS PERFECT FAMILY-FRIENDLY PLAY DATE.
