BC Playthings

BC Playthings 50 years on the North Shore has been a gift for the Grocott, Routledge and Gallagher families! Thanks so much for all the love and support you have given us!

We are closed for renovations; however, we love our customers, staff, family, and friends! Nestled into the old growth of the North Shore Mountains, in the beautiful Edgemont Village, is where you will find us. We are among other unique and charming boutiques that we are proud to call our community. We are BC PLAYTHINGS! BC Playthings offers a wide array of quality, wholesome toys, fidgets and edu

cational tools. We are a reliable and popular resource for parents, educators, therapists and medical professionals with many different philosophies and needs. We also cater to many different educational platforms, such as: the Waldorf community, the local Montessori, Reggio Emilia subscribers, the home school realm, as well as our provincial local
and private schools. We've hand chosen specific products to nurture and encourage active, wholesome play for both the child and their caregivers. We believe that educational and fun playthings promote 'imaginative play' resulting in a nurtured creative and social mind, for the child. Our team's passion and extensive product knowledge enables us to create a unique shopping experience for you when you shop with us at to BC Playthings. While you shop we encourage you and your children to touch, feel and discover the items you are interested in, before you purchase them. We want everyone who walks through our door to experience the simple joys of play. Come in and find out why we are an award winning store, year after blessed year. It is not because of our incredible team, our free wrapping that we offer every customer or because of our extensive inventory, rather, it is because we genuinely love what we do and because we truly care about every single person who shops with us. Taking car of our community is our focus, and it shows. We look forward to you seeing you soon!

April is the month where we celebrate the families, kids, adults, friends, staff members and neighbours who know or are Autistic! Autism does not discriminate and it can happen in the most surprising ways. As the baby becomes a child and then a teenager and finally an adult, there are many changes that a neurotypical person just does not experience. It is unique, sometimes difficult but always a new experience to teach us something. I have learned that so much from the people in my life who are autistic adults and they teach me about my son in ways that are very profound! Thank you for all you have taught us and continue to do so! You have foraged the trail for my son and I celebrate you!
