Going Bananas For Bananagrams!
September 11, 2008
Who doesn’t love bananas? They’re good for you AND they come in a happy yellow color. And who doesn’t love Scrabble games?
Well, our favorite game – Bananagrams – is similar to both!.
Bananagrams is an anagrams game. Players draw letter tiles to form individual crossword puzzles while peeling (drawing) and dumping (discarding) tiles. When a player uses all their tiles they call out "Bananas!" to win the game. Everybody forms their OWN collection of connecting and intersecting words. Each player can rearrange his or her own words as often as they want. It’s like Scrabble but you don’t have to wait your turn. You play independently of each other and at the same time.
Bananagrams is for 2-8 players with each round lasting as little as five minutes. The Learning Tree Toy Experts recommend this award winning game because it allows all ages to put words together at their own level and still be competitive. Grade-schoolers can play as happily as Grandmas – even in the same round.
This is a great travel game since you don’t have to write anything down and you don’t need a playing board. Take the game (in its cute little banana carrying case) to a restaurant and play while you wait for your meal to arrive, or toss it in a travel bag for something fun to do while waiting to board a flight. Want to stay at home? The game is perfect for a fun evening with family and friends
Bananagrams is on sale for $14.99 in our store. Click button below to purchase.
About Us
September 5, 2008
Since 1996, The Learning Tree stores have provided the Kansas City metropolitan area with unique, and timeless toys and gifts for kids.
As the parents of three children, we know the importance of feeling confident about the toy choices we make for our kids. We value the safety and well being of all children and we have always closely monitored the quality of the playthings we provide for them at our stores. We keep in close contact with our manufacturers and receive up-to-the-minute information on any and all recalls from the Consumer Products Safety Commission so if the need arises, we can react promptly.
Our brick and mortar stores are located in Prairie Village and Leawood, Kansas. Day after day we have the opportunity to see kids of all ages (yes, adults love the plasma cars too!) playing with our toys and games. It’s a fantastic way for our staff to learn what age ranges a toy is really best suited for, if the toy or game is safe and durable, and most importantly, whether kids think it’s fun.
Unlike online warehouses or the big box stores, our seasoned Toy Experts have real hands-on experience and knowledge to share with you about our toys, games and books.
Whether you need help finding the right toy, game or book or just want us to gift-wrap and ship the products you have already chosen, we’re here to help. Call our Toy Experts toll-free at 877-445-TREE during our regular business hours or email us anytime.
As a family-owned, community-friendly business we put great value on the reputation we have earned as an honest, trustworthy and responsive company that cares about our customers.
You have many choices when shopping. Please give us the opportunity to be your one-stop online toy store.
Regards,
Jonny and Jane Girson

Park Place Store Is Open!
September 4, 2008
We are so excited about our new location at Park Place! This brand new shopping area in Leawood, KS is growing daily and we are seeing lots of our customers from the Corinth location and many new faces who have never shopped with us.
It is a wonderful space for kids to experience the multitude of toys we offer. Watching the kids (and their parents and grown-up friends!) play with all the fun stuff helps our Toy Experts and Ray, our store manager, see what toys and books and games are a hit with little ones of all ages. We included our special kids entrance in the design along with some tree-inspired touches.
We have had a great summer at Park Place and we are looking forward to a great school year. We have lots of art supplies, musical toys, and craft and science kits to help kids have fun and continue learning through their creativity and play.
Come see us if you are in the area and give us a call if you are looking for ideas or a specific item. Chances are, we’ll have it!
Our toll-free number is 877-445-8733. We are here Monday to Saturday: 10am – 6pm and Sunday 12 – 4pm, CST.

My First Purse Holds Lots of Fun For Toddler Girls
September 2, 2008
If you’re looking for a cute gift for a toddler girl, here is a great choice for you…
….My First Purse by International Playthings is a fun, bright, accessory filled handbag for girls ages two and up.
Just like mom’s purse, it includes a cell phone, lipstick, flower-framed mirror, cash card, makeup and car keys. Everything a little girl needs to play and pretend. My First Purse is lots of great toys in one and the bag itself is a surface washable polyester and vinyl so spills and dirt are no problem.
It’s one of our faves here at The Learning Tree and a long time bestseller. My First Purse sells for $12.99 and we ship anywhere in the US.
