This past Saturday was a big day for us at Rave Central. As we made our way through Seattle to the Yo Gabba Gabba Live show, we made a really special stop on 85th Street in Greenwood. This stop was at Top Ten Toys, one of that many stores near us participating in Neighborhood Toy Store Day.
I must admit I wasn't expecting much of a party when I walked in, which is partly due to the fact that I didn't see any signs outside of what was going on inside the store. So, imagine my surprise to open the doors to find jugglers, a science table, face paints and even activity tables set up for party guests.
Nestled in between the aisles of toys and games in the 7,000 square foot store were all sorts of activities for all ages of kids, as well as some really great prizes that kids could get simply by visiting the activity tables. Our favorite activity was the 
science table where kids could make their own “snow” which would magically spill out of their cups and onto the table in front of them and then could be played with. We loved it so much that we actually got the kit to make our own fake snow at home, which I know will be a huge hit with the kiddos.
In addition to our fake snow kit, we got a wooden food set for our little ones as well as a few surprises for holiday presents. I know we will be coming back at least once or twice before the holidays are here, but it's always nice to get a few small things each time you go so the holidays are easier to plan for!
If you live in Seattle or might be passing through sometime soon {and you should, you’ll like it} you should stop into one of the two locations of Top Ten Toys in Seattle and check them out. By stocking their shelves with the best in imaginative, educational, and active toys, they keep true to their mission to keep old fashioned healthy play alive. The buyer for Top Ten Toys said they never miss a chance to party which means I'm going to make sure I'm on the invite list for all of their parties from now on.
Hopefully all of you have a great local toy store near you like this one and you made your way there this past weekend to celebrate Neighborhood Toy Store Day as well. If you would like to read

I received no compensation for this post at all, I just thought you would want to hear about a great toy store and a great celebration!
Wow! What fun that must have been. I can’t believe they even had jugglers. That’s awesome.
She looks cute. I hope she must have had the times of her life. I definitely must give this a try for sure. I’m sure my kids’ll enjoy. Thanks for sharing the fun.
