BC Playthings offers a good selection of quality, wholesome toys. We are well known for our wooden and other natural toys, and are a resource for Waldorf parents and educators.

I've chosen these products to nurture and encourage active, wholesome play. Good playthings promote "participating play"... resulting directly from a child's creative, imaginative, and social input.

Childhood is an adventure of exploration, and well-chosen playthings provide opportunities for discovery.

  Edgemont Summer Concerts      July 05, 2010

Join us as Edgemont Village celebrates summer with our 12 annual Evenings in Edgemont, our Friday night outdoor music concert series.

As always, we carefully select bands to bring vibrant, diverse and stimulating music to the neighborhood to engage and inform you, but also to enhance your musical horizons and mostly to just enjoy. Something for every musical taste. This year a little Motown, more scintilating Cuban ( just try not to dance!), Tractor Jazz, Cajun, Soul, Celtic and for us diehard Beatlemaniacs; The Fab Fourever return.

Check out www.edgemont-village.com for concert listings or call us here at BC Playthings and we'd be glad to help you!

  a little story from this morning....      March 16, 2010

While Grandma was paying at the till the little wide-eyed girl explained why she and Grandma were buying 4 ducks "2 for Grandma, 2 for me... because my other ducky is lonely, it needs friends" ... the logical sense of a 3-year-old.
