New arrivals! Sew Your Own stuffy kits 🪡 🧵
We’d like to think that finds like these set us apart from big box stores. We love when customers come in and say “Wow! You have so many neat things that you can’t find anywhere else.” We take so much pride in hearing those words.

Every item in our shop is thoughtfully curated. We have standout items like these sewing kits as well as more mainstream brands that people have come to rely on. Come on by But First, We Play! Toy Shop to discover something new that you can’t find anywhere else locally.

These sewing kits come complete with all supplies including fabric, a needle, thread & stuffing.

Available in store at 2695 W Main St in Wappingers Falls. NY or online at ButFirstWePlay.com.

New arrivals! 📣 We just got in a shipment of fun & educational toys from Learning Resources.

I relied on Learning Resources’ educational toys when I was a SAHM, before opening But First, We Play! I was always looking for something that would make learning easy and fun for my kiddos. Learning Resources makes amazing toys that keep kids engaged with the learning process from counting and coding to pretend play and motor skills 👏

Available in store at 2695 W Main St in Wappingers Falls, NY and online at ButFirstWePlay.com.
