The Best Children’s Shops in Brooklyn and What to Buy
Flying Squirrel
This Williamsburg standby always has exactly what kids want. Whether it’s the perfect toy or a t-shirt adorned in skulls, cars, and a hula girl, Flying Squirrel speaks to a very Brooklyn sensibility. The staff is incredibly warm and friendly and can help you out if you’re at a loss because you’re shopping for someone else’s kid. The other awesome aspect of this store is that it also operates as a consignment shop, so you don’t need to feel guilty about the vast amount of material consumption that goes hand-in-hand with parenting. Shopping with a clean conscience is always a great feeling. And it’s even better when you get to walk out with some really cool stuff.
Flying Squirrel; 96 N. 6th St, Williamsburg
