Spielzeugsladen!

Tübingen's town center teems with great shops, but this seemingly endless toy store with room after room of toys epitomized how Germans KNOW HOW TO DO TOYS.
Seasonal tchotchkes in a felicitous presentation!


Smurfs and more smurfs . . .


Super soft stuffed toys in whimsical clothes . . . what's not to like?


Emily hams it up with a giraffe . . .


Quinn's chagrin that the Lego lollapalooza behind him cannot yield Xmas or birthday presents today.
The wonderful dolly hutch


Devilish fun!


I'm a complete sucker for wooden toys.


Ballerinas to the left of me, Pippi Longstocking to the right . . .


And this magnificent children's section in one of the local bookstores . . . and that was only the half of it!
Auf wiedersehen von Deutschland!

Hi Rev! Thanks for reading my German posts . . . and poignantly our boys are mostly beyond wooden toys . . . though Quinn spent quite some time with the wooden marble slides at the shop.
