Città del Sole
Città del Sole is a parent’s dream, a treasure-trove of imaginative toys created to stretch the growing mind rather than numb it. From well-crafted wooden trains to insect investigation kits, here you’ll find toys to (with any luck) keep your children occupied for hours. Other branches are at Via Buonarroti 6, near Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, and at Piazza San Cosimato 39 in Trastevere.

Bartolucci
You can’t miss this woodtastic toy shop, where everything’s crafted in pine by the Bartolucci family (often you can see work being done in the shop). It’s guarded by a cycling Pinocchio and a full-sized wooden motorbike, and within are ticking clocks, rustic cars, planes and more Pinocchios than you’ve ever seen in your life.

Al Sogno
Even from outside you know that Al Sogno is more than your average toy shop, with elaborate window displays featuring elegant Edwardian dolls. Inside is an expensive wonderland, the mezzanine floor straining under the weight of dolls and stuffed animals. The don’t-touch atmosphere is best suited to well-behaved little darlings.

Bertè
On Piazza Navona, this is one of Rome’s great toy shops, an emporium specialising in wooden dolls and puppets, but with a great mishmash of other stuff, from tractors to pushchairs, and doll houses to tea sets. Perfect for pre-/post-sightseeing bribes.
