Dreoni
Florence's leading toy store is full of mega-fun stuff for kids and has bucketloads of models that seem to attract just as many adults (well, blokes).

Quisquilia & Pinzillacchera
Two women create ‘poetic textiles’ (mostly dolls and puppets) at this postage stamp-sized shop-cum-studio. Their remarkable work is both melancholic and witty.

Il Mondo è Piccolo
These imaginative, well-crafted toys are just the ticket to amuse young minds and cater to second childhoods. It’s never too late to enjoy a wheeled wooden duck on a stick.

Bambolandia
A delightful world of old-fashioned toys and handmade dolls of all descriptions awaits. If you can't convince the kids of the merits of these items over PlayStations, perhaps you'll be captivated yourself and pick something up as decorative nostalgia.

Aprica
Aprica’s passeginas (strollers) raise the style stakes way beyond Bugaboo, sprouting exquisite organza-leaved boot covers in grownup shades of mushroom or ink. For little label slaves, there’s special edition bibs, the linked Fendi Fs awaiting their first slop.

Molin Giocattoli
Nestled up along the bridge locally known as Ponte dei Giocattoli - Toys Bridge, this shop will attract kids with a yearning for something more titillating than Tintoretto. Pick up some glue along with your model Ferrari, B52 bomber or vaporetto, and little ones could be kept busy for hours.

Pupi Solari
Many Milanese from a certain kind of family will recall regular Pupi Solari visits for shoe fittings and picking out exquisitely decorated party dresses or tweed jackets just like daddy’s. The wonderfully lavish window displays still delight; there’s now a women’s department and in the same square, a men’s-wear branch Host.

Nume
Hand-stitched felt pillows that declare ‘stella stellina, la notte si avvicina ’ (little star, the night is coming), a long-time favourite Italian lullaby, pair beautifully with simply designed kids furniture at this individual children’s design shop. Search out the interlocking cardboard construction sets, which are kid-pleasing and very stylish too.
