The greatest adventure is discovering what you can do!
Christmas is quickly approaching and the mad scramble for that new favourite toy is set to begin. People in the Battlefords may think they have to go to Saskatoon or even Edmonton to find the perfect toy that is not only fun, but educational. The largest educational toy and educational resource store in Saskatchewan just happens to be right here in North Battleford! It’s great for birthdays, special events, everyday adventures, and yes, it should be your first thought for Christmas toys. They’ll even wrap them up for ready for Santa’s sack!
Lifelong educator Sonya Hilsendager is the owner of Learning Adventures Toys and Games which has been operating in the city for eight years. After moving her store twice into larger premises, (did we say that this is now the largest independently owned toy and educational resource store in Saskatchewan?) she is firmly planted in the Discovery Co-op Mall and ready to share her passion with the community.
“As a former educator myself, my focus is on the best things for children. I’m not just here to sell toys, but to help teachers in the community as well,” Hilsendager said. “When I started teaching here, I would have to travel to Edmonton or Saskatoon to buy supplies. That’s when I realized there’s a market and a need here for educational resources.”
