Monkey Puzzle

Monkey Puzzle stocks Moulin Roty shadow puppets and torches with projectors so kids can make up their own stories. Owner Pamela Blyton says, “We believe children learn through hands-on play, and toys should last longer than a season.” There is a wide selection of wooden toys, including sturdy options for toddlers, and more high-end products for older kids like the stunning Kolekto Oriento range of puzzles. Go home with: La Lampe des Ombres to tell your own fairy tale in the shadows ($19.95) or a Blackboard laptop ($23.95).
