New Canaan Holiday Shopping: New Canaan Toy Store [Q&A]

For today’s installment in our local holiday shopping series, we spoke to Sophia Patterson of the New Canaan Toy Store at 94 Park St. (great parking at the lot almost directly opposite at the corner of Park and Pine). Purchased by new owners six years ago, the Toy Store underwent an extensive renovation during the pandemic and has received high praise for how many great items it’s able to pack inside the shop while still feeling open and well-organized. “This is a really fun time of year for us,” owner Annie Hedrick said. “We spend months preparing and stocking up for Christmas and we love to see families enjoying shopping and discovering new toys together.”
