About Us

The Thinking Cap is an independently owned retail outlet for classroom supplies and specialty toys.  Although we have a well developed sense of humor, we are serious about helping teachers and parents educate children with the best products on the market.  We seek to challenge your mind and help you think outside of the box.  Our toys and games are chosen carefully to strengthen or develop a skill with a fun-loving spirit. 

Remember Slinky, Silly Putty, Tickle-Bee, and wooden blocks? The Thinking Cap stocks all of your old favorites as well as the newest on the specialty market. Hands-on displays of games and toys at our shop delight kids ages 0-99!

 I once read it takes a trilogy for a child to succeed in school: teacher, parent, and student. Our goal is to spark imagination and creativity in all three."

 Formerly located in a stone house, we have moved to a much larger location to serve our customers better. Teachers will find that everything from bulletin board supplies, stickers and charts are stocked, plus professional guides and workbooks, from pre-school to high school levels.

 Our collection of Christian materials grows every year too.

 Parents will find a wealth of material to reinforce skills and enrich their child's academic experience. A fine selection of skill-based games is also available as well as items to improve thinking and reasoning.

The Thinking Cap offers something for everyone including toys, games, music, puzzles, and craft items. The friendly, knowledgeable staff can assist in the selection of an age-appropriate gift. Staff is also available to demonstrate math and reading games to parent and teacher groups. Other unique features include reward cards for teachers, free gift-wrapping, in-store lamination, gift certificates, and our Clearance section with savings of up to 75% off retail prices!

 We are open six days a week with evening hours to accommodate the schedules of working parents and teachers. And of course thethinkingcaponline.com is always open so you may get a head start on your shopping!

 So put on YOUR Thinking Cap and join us for some fun!
