At Little Richards Toystore we understand that each child is unique. Our goal through our website and over the phone is to learn as much as we can about the child you are shopping for. We want you to select just the right toy. In fact, if we are doing our job well, we may talk you out of certain selections or direct you to a competitor to make right purchase.

Child Psychologists have long known that children learn the most through play. At Little Richard’s and ToyGenius.com, we sell “fun” toys with a purpose. Many of our toys can foster imagination, creativity, physical health, cognitive development and an appreciation of our environment and our planet’s remarkable creatures. They are interactive toys, requiring more than simple flick of a switch to be entertained.
