Fiona was very knowledgable and helpful, and I'm really glad I found this website so I can review this place because I can't speak highly enough of it. My nephew has aspergers and she was great at pointing me in the right direction with the most beneficial toys to buy. Well done

Fantastic service! My children had a ball here looking around. Couldn't be happier with my purchases. I got some fabulous gifts that I can't really buy anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $40

Thanks for the review. We have set the store up so there are things for the children to play with which makes it better for everyone. And having items that they don't see in other shops makes it all that more special. Best wishes, Phil & Fiona

I stumbled across this shop a little while back and found that they had a great range of kids toys. I was even happier that my kids were still playing with the things I bought many weeks on as they enjoyed them so much and have been back several times now. The shop owners are super friendly and helpful. Thanks.

Approximate cost: $80+

Thank you for the review. Fiona has worked hard to find items that have long term value for children to enjoy and learn from. And being just off Melbourne's Eastern Freeway makes it easy for people to keep coming to see us. We look forward to your next visit!

A lovely little shop that provides a variety of play based learning experiences for all child ages. I love how it is organised in age groups - it makes it easier to search for a particular thing. Owners Fiona and Phil are passionate about their business. They are friendly and welcoming, and have a sound knowledge of the resources they provide. This shop has items that are colourful, attractive and are guaranteed to last a lifetime. Will be back to buy presents for my expectant friends!

Friendly and helpful advice from owners, lovely unique toys reasonably priced. This has become our first stop shop for presents for friends and our own little ones

What a wonderful find! This place is the best of both worlds: a quality shop that you can walk into and have a really good look at the toys, get advice and find things you didn't even think of; and an online presence that allows you to shop from home. I haven't needed that, but have had friends in the country that are rapt to hear of a top quality toy shop that will deliver to them. I walked in one day to buy a present for kid's birthday party and can't believe how many times I've gone back. It's a relief to see lots of wooden toys, beautifully crafted imaginative play and really sturdy stuff. I could go crazy in there, but try to just walk away with a few things ... but I keep going back! This is now my number 1 place for kids gifts and I am now a huge fan. The owners are so nice and helpful. They make you feel really welcome to poke around as long as you want. After one too many bad experiences with the big stores (zero stock of what you want ring a bell to you too? arrgh!) and their rows and rows of plastic junk I am so happy to keep going back here instead. The first time I walked in I asked if they had a certain toy in stock (mini mandalas). They hadn't but a week later told me they had got them in! Even better when I returned the selection was great and I stocked up on a few. This is better than I could have hoped for. I also really appreciate their big range of prices. Top quality big ticket items right down to toys my daughter can buy with her pocket money (our fave pick: $5 pocket kite) I'll be back for Christmas!

Explore.Play.Learn is a fantastic little shop! I found the shop in a Google search and was so thrilled with their range of toys and games. The quality of their merchandise is great - from their wooden toys to their recycled plastic items. Phil and Fiona were lovely and offered some great advice. I'm a kindergarten teacher and I could go CRAZY in their shop buying resources for the children in my class! Will definitely be returning - I've got my eye on those gorgeous fairy figurines :-D
