Well, that someday came quickly. With less than a year as an online toy business under our belts, we have ventured into the realm of physical location and all the fun, chaos and happiness that brings. We had a fabulous grand opening celebration on April 15th at our location in one of our favorite Seattle neighborhoods. It went really well, and we've had a great time being in the space in our first week.
In addition to our toy store, we have begun a Drop-in Art Care facility called Green Bananas that is located within 99 Monkeys and provides a space for younger children to experience art in a variety of forms. It's a place where an artist, fairy tale or world folk tale is the focus to provide inspiration for every week of creative play and learning. Parents can bring their children in and then stay and sip some tea OR (a, perhaps, more enticing option) parents can drop their children off for up to four hours to play while they run a few errands, get some exercise without the stroller, or grab a coffee with a friend. The Green Bananas and 99 Monkeys staff are creative, energetic and CPR and First Aid trained so there's no need to worry while spending a bit of time on your own.
