The Little Things

Stumbled in on the store after seeing the massive Lego section in the window. I was immediately greeted by a smile and a warm welcome. I spent about 10 minutes browsing the store with my daughter and it was very nostalgic. Although I left empty handed Little Things will be my go-to store for gifts from this point on.

I had such a great experience at Little Things Toy Store! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. I had a concern about the condition of one of the boxes for an item I was collecting, and the owner was just as thoughtful and concerned as I was. She actually advised me not to purchase it because she didn’t want me to walk away with a bad impression—something you don’t see often these days. After spending more time chatting, I could see how genuinely passionate she is about what she does. That honesty and care completely won me over. I left with trust and appreciation, and I’ll definitely be back!

Very cute store! The staff were kind and helpful, and I found a nice selection of activity books for my kiddos.

I miss the times of old when they have the two stores and it was super eclectic. Much cleaner and more organized but def doesn’t feel like an adventure every time you enter. Little Things has been a parkslope staple for decades and it’s great to be able to share the place that was so magical when we were kids with our own kiddos.

we are so lucky to have stores like these in our neighborhood! I came in to little things totally lost, with a specific gift idea for a friend’s new baby. one of the amazing employees immediately came to my help, and recommended some amazing items that friends and their baby ABSOLUTELY loved.

Recently visited the part of the store on the west side of the street. Wonderful store with a great selection of toys and games. Very attentive and thoughtful service. The woman we dealt with at the register took the time to help my young daughter count her money, then counted out the change as she gave it to her.

This store was great for little children's toys before, but even better now that they've relocated! Much more open and nice spot on the corner of block. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They're not pushy at all either. Perfect fit the neighborhood

The best general toy store in the neighborhood. They've been here my whole life and it still gives me joy to go in a shop. Competitive pricing, helpful staff, and their ever present smiles keep them in business. In the summer they put out a play table full of Brio trains for passers by to play with. This store is a cornerstone to the community that is Park Slope.

The best kids toy store around Park Slope. The not only have anything and everything you can want but they also have the best brands in each category. Go up the block to their other Little Things Too... That store has more art and science. Great staff, store has been in Park slope for manay many years. Bring the kids, they sometimes have play days.

Wonderland find in Park Slope. I wandered into the flagship and met Mitch who was very welcoming and informative. Impressive selection and variety of toys, games, puzzles, etc. — especially for the shop size. I have lots of little ones in my world so Mitch suggested I check out their newborn - age 5 shop across the street. It was also very cute and Ralph was helpful and funny. Big bonus for me: Surprisingly broad range of skin colors and hair textures in both dolls and book protagonists. Finding representation for kids should not be a notable thing in 2024, but it totally is. Great service and warm vibe. I’ll be a repeat customer.

I love what this toy store offers, but the staff attitude is what makes me give them 2 stars. They make you feel like you're bothering them by buying at the store, almost like they are in a rush for you to leave and stop wasting their time. Not a pleasant experience.

Pricey with a decent selection but the woman with brown hair who works there is angry and seems almost annoyed at the parents and children shopping there. It was not a pleasant experience at all and makes we prefer to shop on Amazon rather than deal with nasty, rude, angry people.

Old lady wrapped my toy really bad. Worst staff. Rude. Do not recommend at all! Go other toy stores. Dont waste your time.

The only kid-friendly thing about Little Things Toy Store is the fact that they sell toys. In my opinion, the store's atmosphere was cold and uninviting. Worst of all, the staff (including the owner or manager...I'm not sure) were rude and condescending. Sadly, he was dismissive and unkind towards my 6-year-old. Quite appalling, to say the least. I truly hope he changes his attitude and becomes welcoming to precious little ones that visit the store.

The people that work here are unnecessarily condescending and rude. I don’t think they even like children. One of the old women that works here follows people around the store like a hateful grim reaper skeleton. The sister store for older kids across the street is exponentially better and nicer. Like night and day.

This place has been in business for years. It isn’t as good as it used to be. There is a short haired woman who works there who has awful customer service, she is dismissive, has a condescending, unprofessional attitude, and from my observation, this woman is selective with how she treats customers based on whatever biases she may have. I recall feeling cheated after I spent money there. Giving the local business the benefit of the doubt, I’ve gone back to the shop and had the same cold unwelcoming experience. I since have decided not to spend a nickel in Little Things.

Have been supporting this store for years but am echoing other recent reviewers about being treated with condescension and disdain by the older women who worked here. They asked us to tell them exactly what we were looking for at least half a dozen times in the 10 minutes we were in there. Scolding us for touching anything and telling me I needed to leave my dry umbrella at the door. There’s a difference between offering assistance and allowing customers to browse and demanding to know what we are specially looking for. Maybe I don’t know yet! What an unnecessarily unpleasant experience. These two women should go work at the DMV instead of a toy store.

This store is very cute, but unfortunately the attitude of the staff was not. The older woman working there was extremely rude toward my friend and me. As soon as we walked in, she told us we couldn’t have our food out, which is completely understandable. We immediately put it away in our bag, yet she still made another comment about it. After that, she followed us to the back of the store while we were looking at Calico Critters. She asked if we needed help, and we politely said we were just browsing, but she continued to stand right next to us and watch us closely. It felt very uncomfortable, especially since she was not treating any other customers that way. At one point she even went to ask another customer if they needed help, but it seemed like it was just to remain nearby and continue watching us. We ended up leaving because we felt unwelcome. Afterwards, I noticed other reviews describing similar experiences, which is disappointing because it seems like nothing has been done to address it. We will not be returning or supporting this business again. It’s a shame, because we were excited to visit before this experience.
