Durango Kid

For grandparents who are looking for classic playthings for holiday giving, they will find a huge selection of stimulating, colorful and educational toys with a big emphasis on fun at Durango Kid, 640 Main Avenue.

Shown in this photo is a charming dragon designed for infants, a child-sized guitar that really plays, a fabric weaving loom and a genuine, old-fashioned top that produces tones when spinning. Other instruments include banjos, saxophones, flutes, tambourines and drums.

The Durango Kid specializes in toys that "do their thing" only when powered by the child playing with them. The store even carries some clothing for those extra-special occasions for the little ones.
