LEGO CONTEST

We are so excited about our 24th annual Lego Contest! We have seen some great one-of-a-kind creations in the past and we can't wait to see what was created this year! With all the cool pieces from the new Lego sets, we are expecting some crazy cool creations! If you've never entered before, don't  stress! It's easy! Make a one-of-a-kind creation and bring it into the store between October 16th and 18th (That's THIS Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!). The Whiz Kids Toy Experts will take a picture of you with your creation and take down some information about it. Come back the next week to see the winners and collect your prize! And remember, at Whiz Kids, everyone's a winner. That means everyone wh
o enters the contest will get a Lego prize! What fun! Hope to see all of San Luis Obispo's master builders soon!

Stop by any Saturday and you will find a table full of arts supplies. All you need to bring is your imagination! Past projects include Mother's Day cards, Frozen cut and paste dolls, and foil art. Every week its something new!

Somebody asked me the other day, "Why come to Whiz Kids over Target or other toy stores?" These are just a few of the reasons to shop here. How would you answer that question? What's your favorite thing about shopping at Whiz Kids? What secrets did we miss?

Mother's and Father's Day

The time has come to celebrate the people who raised us and love us more than any one else ever will. If you think you won't find the perfect gift for your mom and dad at the toy store, think again!

 

Mom's will love our Happiness Project Journal. Or if you are feeling artsy, check out our paint your own porcelain vases, tea sets, or bowls kits! Instead of a bouquet of flowers, surprise her with flowers that will last with our pressed flower art.

 

Stumped on what to get dad? Check out our Star Wars Metal Earth kits. I've heard multiple dad's in the store requesting it already.  If he loved Lego's as a kid, check out our Nanoblocks for more 'mature' fun! If your dad is not the type to sit still and build something, get him an Atomic Popper Gun. He will have so much fun! But make sure you get yourself one too, or you may be under attack with nothing to protect yourself! Look Katelyn's family already has them!
