With 68 stores coast-to-coast, Mastermind Toys has grown into Canada’s Authority on Play: the nation’s biggest specialty toy and children’s book retailer. As a national store, we’re beyond excited to support Canadian brands and authors, along with products inspired by the beauty and diversity of our country!

As a toy company that started in Toronto, Ontario, naturally, we’re proud to feature a curated selection of toys and books that are made with love, right here in Canada. Thank you for supporting us and local toy makers and artisans, like Millside Wagons, Dough Parlour, and so many more!

Inspired by his two young daughters, Jim Whitney, a dad from Toronto, Ontario, was determined to create a toy that could be assembled and reassembled to build anything kids’ imaginations can dream of. A castle. A cave. A pirate ship. You name it, Crazy Forts is all for it. Ages 5+

Behind many of the brands that we carry are people that are passionate about bringing forth the style of the north. We’re honoured to share some home-grown success stories of select companies that help us curate speciality toys, games, and gifts for you and your family.

Joyce Keelan, a mom who set out to create pretend-play products, has spearheaded an award-winning line-up of toys, jewellery, and accessories to spark children’s creativity. Great Pretenders offers an adorable, designed-in-Canada selection to inspire families to engage in imaginative play in a special way.

Amazing ideas inspired by fun spun from three University of Western Ontario graduates who created the leading toy company Spin Master. While the Toronto office remains their global headquarters, they provide a lot of local love by partnering with stores like us.

Join us and celebrate the Battat company, a family-run business that began in Montreal, Quebec in 1968. Their dream of building award-winning children’s products is a reality today–and we couldn’t be happier to offer their line of toys that empower kids through imaginative play.

It’s always an honour to grow our assortment of toys and games with companies founded by parents who share a similar vision as ours. Much like us, Team Mobi also believes in inspiring creativity through the power of play.

Take in breathtaking national landscapes at home with 4D cityscapes. These vibrant and sturdy puzzles are an amazing way to take a closer look at history, geography, and architecture from around the globe as you travel the world with your imagination!
