Hoopla

Hoopla caters to urban pioneers who crave old-school toys from days when parents didn’t worry about toxic plastic or lead-based paint. Retro wooden gliders, Thomas the Train sets and Melissa and Doug puzzles replace obnoxious Disney characters in this cute mom-and-pop store that actually encourages kids to handle the merchandise. From “Decatur Baby” onesies to knitting kits for ‘tweens, Hoopla makes sure kids of all ages have plenty of fun distractions.
