In addition to the amazing selection of books that Borders already carries, they have expanded their Toys And Games Section in over 500 stores. The new section has their shelves stocked with high quality educational gifts that are perfect for any child on your holiday list.
We don't have a Borders close to us so they sent us a box full of these toys from their newly expanded section.
Receiving this box full of amazing products makes me wish we had a Borders that was closer to our house. They have many of the top name educational brands such as Creativity for Kids, Thinkfun, Scientific Explorer, and ALEX.
I love that Borders is dedicated to providing so many products that inspire creativity and build cognitive skills. I searched the Toys And Games Section online and was amazed by the variety. They have so many products that I want for my children.
Use this store locator and visit a Borders near you to check out their newly expanded Toys and Games section! The Borders in-store promotion this week is $10 off a purchase of $20 or more!

I remember playing candyland when I was younger. I think it is a good game for kids. It holds their interest with the cards being shapes and the board being brightly colored and it is a good game when kids are working on turn taking.

I used to love playing candyland it was colorful,made you use your imagination & it was a fun learning game.It really helps with numbers & colors,I think kids should still play it because it was fun & educational

When I was little we made a lot of our toys and we drew and painted. I think this fosters creativity in children. Any activity such as legos, watercolors etc that allow a child to build things or to become creative is valauble in my book.

One of my favorite toys as a child was my colorforms Barbie dream house. I also had several other colorforms toys. They were just so much fun to rearrange and use for imaginative play, and they were so compact we could take it anywhere.

I really enjoyed playing with Legos when I was young! I think they're great toys even today because you can use your imagination so well, and they adapt to both genders. My brothers were always building cars and planes and I was building houses for families!

I liked to play Bingo as a child because I had the same chance to win as everyone else. Ours was just plain old cards and numbers. I saw that Borders had such cute ones as Hello Kitty Bingo and and Bingo type game called Zingo. I think kids today would really enjoy them.
