Decorated pretty with colourful streamers, the huge variety of items housed in the store are categorised into different sections like stationery, dolls and accessories, pre-school, remote control vehicles, action figures, guns and accessories, battery-operated toys, feeding essentials, and games and puzzles.

Pabitra Das“We started the Little Shop journey from Forum Mall. This is the beginning of a long journey. In the last one-and-a-half years, due to the pandemic and the kids stuck at home, parents are trying to keep the kids entertained a lot more with toys. So, thinking of that we came up with this new concept of an exclusive toy store. Since we got the know-how and have been dealing with toys in our previous stores too, we thought of dedicating an entire store to toys. Forum is a tried and tested mall and we are at an accessible location on the ground floor. We have a huge stock of Indian as well as international toy brands catering to various purposes,” said Shiv Daswani (inset), owner.
The store has a few dedicated sections for school stationery items, including a separate art and craft section, which has pens, pencils, crayons, colour pencils and lots of other items from Faber-Castell. There are varieties of paints and craft activity kits for kids to pick up for their art and craft hobbies.
