Toys et Cetera

Toys et Cetera was born in 1976 to satisfy my need for better toys for my own children – toys that were educational, developmentally sound, and culturally sensitive.

My stores carry the premier specialty toy lines for the young of heart of all ages, from infants through adults.  As we have expanded over the years from one to three locations, I continue to seek out good craftsmen and clever toy inventors. From creative art activities to scientific pursuits to challenging new games to good books and lively music, our playthings tickle the imagination and expand the mind.  Here online is just a small sampling of the over 10,000 toys we carry in our stores.

For over 30 years, my primary concern has been the health and well-being of our communities’ children.

Our toy shops are conveniently located in the historic neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and Andersonville in Chicago. We strive to be as intelligent, unique, and interesting as the multi-cultural communities we proudly serve.
