by Joanne About a year ago my family found a wonderful place… a place filled with Playmobile, Zoob, Melissa and Doug… and only a 5 minute drive from our house! LMNOP Toys and Games is a local toy store filled with toys that will feed your child’s imagination and creativity.

Located in Orleans next to Sobeys’s (corner of Trim and Innes) this wonderful place stocks the most amazing toys.

If Santa is looking for French language toys – he will find many to fill his sleigh! What makes this store number one on my list is it carries lots of French language toys. If you are francophone family or your child is in French immersion, you know that it is not always easy to find educational games in French – they have a wonderful selection of French language board games to choose from.

If the good boys and girls on your list want toys they can build - they also have a wonderful selection of Zoob – if you are not familiar with Zoob it is a great building toy that kids can snap together and make many different creations. My little man really enjoys his Zoob. We play with it often – the limits are his imagination!

For the hard to shop for grandparents who love doing puzzles with the grand kids they have a wide selection of Ravensburger puzzles for all ages.

It is our first stop for birthday presents and where my kids often spend their allowances!

When I am looking for something extra special, not the typical present that takes a dozen AA batteries and will keep my kids occupied for hours – I know I can find it at the wonderful LMNOP toys.
