Parenthood creates a lifelong goal to see your kids happy and thriving; Kidstop Toys and Books has all the best toys to help you reach that goal! I think we adults all miss our old favorite Toys R Us, but when there are amazing local alternatives, we can all take that nostalgia. and put it towards some local, small business love.

Filled with toys tested for fun by their lead toy experts, Kidstop is not only the toy store kids dream about, it’ll be yours, too! As an Arizona family photographer, all my clients know the value of having fun with their kids, so I love having such a great place to recommend when parents have a need for the perfect gift. It’s also a great place to let your kids pick the perfect gifts for friends.

Selection

The “Toy Experts” as they call themselves at Kidstop Toys and Books, take their toy picking process very seriously! You won’t simply find water toys and Squishmallows like any other store. These toy pros visit toy shows to hand-pick their favorites for the newest, best and funnest toys available. You know they’re going to be adult and kid favorites, because they’re tested by parents who love fun.

Community

Kidstop Toys and Books has been a local-owned toy store in the Scottsdale, Phoenix area for over 20 years! It has been voted best toy store year after year. Beloved owner and founder, Kate Tanner, decided to close up shop in 2020, but with the strength and love of the community, Kidstop Toys is back and open! Kate was confronted by a toy-loving and local family about funding the store and keeping the local love going. She agreed! The Roehmer Family is officially the new toy family to help you find the best toys and have the most fun with your kids.
