Play Toys & Books

At Play Toys & Books, puzzles have a visible place among other children’s toys, books, and gift items, particularly in their Logan Square and Lincoln Park shops. They stock puzzles appropriate for toddlers (chunky/floor puzzles), standard jigsaw puzzles, and novelty puzzle sets, though likely fewer high‑piece collector puzzles than a specialty puzzle-only store. The staff are known for offering good recommendations and helping you find the right toy or puzzle for the recipient, based on difficulty, theme, or creativity. The stores are well organized, cozy, and curated, making puzzle browsing feel personal. If you’re looking for nicely made, gift‑worthy puzzles in Chicago without going to dedicated puzzle boutiques, Play is a dependable choice.
