Kidsproof shopping

| Wypkje Hettinga

A quick trip to the city isn't possible when you have young children. Don't worry; that doesn’t mean you have to skip your shopping day entirely. In Leeuwarden, you’ll find the most delightful children's (clothing) stores where even the busiest little ones will have a great time. At these places, you’ll discover cheerful children's clothing, adventurous books, and exciting games; it promises to be a fantastic day!

Fantastic Playtime
Does your child quickly lose interest in their own toys? Then head over to Stenen Tijdperk, the cozy play café for young and older children. This shop and café is packed to the brim with the coolest building blocks. Not pebbles or stones, no: Duplo! Lego! Playmobil! Kids can play freely, while (grand)parents can relax with a nice cup of coffee or tea. What's even better is that they also sell and rent out toys. If your child loves the building blocks, you can easily take some home!

You won’t run out of games to play.

Do you have a gamer, game enthusiast, puzzler, or deep thinker at home? Or do you enjoy nothing more than spending hours over a board game with your favorite people? Then you must visit Spellekijn. This gaming paradise has everything you could possibly wish for. Exciting board games, crazy card games, toys for young and old, Warhammer and Warhammer workshops, unsolvable puzzles, and challenging brain teasers. In our opinion, the biggest challenge is leaving this store without buying anything. Good luck!

A light bulb will go on!
Whether you're looking for something for yourself, a gift, or something for your child(ren), De Toverlantaarn is the place to be. This children's bookstore is located in a beautiful retail space on Nieuwestad. The walls are lined with bookshelves, filled with rows and rows of children's books, from exciting young adult novels to picture books for the little ones. In addition to books, they also have surprising gifts such as wooden toys, puzzles, games, posters, and cards. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice to meet you!

Do you know Mister Fred yet? You really have to meet him! Meet Mister Fred is a sustainable design store. The finest materials, sometimes soft natural tones, sometimes expressive bright colors—everything is of high quality and largely local. We are absolutely excited about this store! Lovely soaps, cute children's clothing, cuddly toys, cards, and craft supplies. It's fun for the little ones, but just as enjoyable for the parent(s) among us. Meet Mister Fred is located on Vijzelstraat, a hidden shopping street on the edge of the city center of Leeuwarden.
