I love Scholar's Choice for all the teacher toys and the Pacey toys! Pacey loves Scholar's Choice because of all the toys they have labelled .. "Please Try Me!" It is a toddler's paradise and the staff is so kind and patient and they absolutely love kids. When we were there, there were two little girls who were there looking around while their mom was in Safeway. They were looking at all the craft things and were talking about "if I had ten bucks I would buy …." "if I had five bucks I would buy …" One of the staff came to them and asked them if they liked crafts. They both nodded but ensured her that they had no money and were just "wish shopping." A really cute response. The staff disappeared for a while to the back and came back and had two colourful containers. She told them that the cans were craft surprises and she couldn't tell them what was in the cans that they would have to open them at home, but once they opened them they were responsible to use all the craft items and their imagination and to come back and show her what they made. The looks on these two girls faces was incredible - you would have thought she had offered them the best thing in the store. It was just really nice to see someone do something nice for someone else that they didn't even know or with no reward or consequence in mind. It certainly gives me something to think about …
While I contemplated this curious and enlightening exchange, my girl had other ideas in mind - have a look at the photos and keep in mind that we were only in the store for maybe 13 minutes. Every time I tried to wrap up our little shop, she would say "No mommy, I keep looking."
