Thanks for including us in this great piece about romance in New Canaan! Didn't think the toy store was the place to find love? Think again!
Who Knew? Valentine’s Day Edition Who Knew?’ is sponsored by Walter Stewart’s Market. Nobody comes to the leafy Connecticut suburbs for our heart-shaped hot tubs. Not only is their resale value questionable, but surely P&Z has a longstanding regulation against Atlantic City chic. All the same, New Canaan can be the perfect spot ...

Our Story
New Canaan Toy Store is widely considered to be the oldest continually operating toy store in New England. It is locally-owned by Connecticut native, Nathan Shapiro.
A message from Nathan:
New Canaan Toy Store opened in 1928. Originally a general store that carried other items as well as toys, it evolved into a specialty toy shop in the 1940s. Since its founding, it has remained independently owned and operated.
Today New Canaan Toy Store is operated by my family and me. I bought this store because I wanted to own a small business where I could connect personally with families, and offer high-quality toys and books that help children learn and grow, and most of all have fun.
