I have gone to this every year since back in the 1990's :o

If nothing else it is a greeat place to get CHEAP board books for the daycare and creative art supplies to stock up on for the year!

I go every year as well for both the daycare and my own son. He's almost to the age where nothing there interests him now though :( but its great for daycare supplies.

I am of the same opinion. My kids are to old now for what they have. I also find the one in TO hitand miss. If its for cheap daycare additions or Xmas gifts for them then great, but when looking for things to meet my own childrens interests its not the best for them any more. Books are super cheap but its closer for me to go to the book depot in St Catharines which is super duper cheap :)

Yes, brightsparks the Book Depot is super cheap, especially when they have their box sales.

I have gone in the past. I did Toronto 2 years ago and Hamilton last year. I found Hamilton almost useless compared to Toronto. If I do it again this year I'm going into Toronto. Way more to pick from.

i find it's great for books! And for the little kids, but my older ones are looking for very specific brands this year and I find samco rarely has the gifts of today that the bigger kids are looking for.

Mamma Mia, is that in Toronto or all of the locations? In Ottawa I've only heard of it in November.

I go to the Richmond Hill location which is about 40min north/east from Toronto. Not sure if the other locations will as well. I'm thinking if they do very well during the winter they may continue it during the summer...
