I recently had the chance to work with an awesome toy store chain, which you may have heard of, Brilliant Sky Toys & Books. Now, honestly, I hadn’t heard of them before, but I did a little research on them and let me tell you, I wish I had one close by to me!
Wouldn’t it be great if there were a concierge service for grownups who needed a toy, today, wrapped and guaranteed to delight the little recipient? What a brilliant idea! Shoppers who are lucky enough to live near one of 15 Brilliant Sky Toys & Books specialty stores already take advantage of this concierge-style superior customer service, free gift wrap and wide range of fabulous finds. Plus, customers can be sure to pick the perfect toy as the 4th annual Brilliance Awards, chosen by the toy store franchise chain, are announced, featuring a dozen perfect playthings. This would be absolutely amazing to have a toy store close by to take care of any of your toy needs.
Brilliant Sky Toys & Books won the 2013 Brilliance Award and has toys Priced from $12.99 to $84.99, the top 12 Brilliance Award winners are an eclectic bunch, just like today’s kids. The list includes Lego City Brickmaster ($29.99) for the future engineer, How Big Is The Lion? ($14.95) book for an educational storytime plus Melissa & Doug’s Deluxe Magic Set ($34.99) for the family entertainer. An easel, darts, toy treehouse, chubby vehicles, circuit board and world map puzzle round out the wide range of childhood toys that spark imagination. These Top 12 run on brain power, wonder and imagination.
Here at Everything Mommyhood we received the Melissa & Doug Easel to review, directly from Brilliant Sky Toys & Books!
This was super easy to put together and I didn’t need any tools at all. Everything was included. It took me maybe 25 minutes from start to finish!!!
I love the dry erase side as well as the chalkboard. It also has the ability to hold a spool of paper that you can guide down through the wooden paper guide on the dry erase side, and it allows you to tear the paper with the built in paper cutter. The trays are a nice addition too that holds everything for your child. There’s one on each side that can hold everything needed, from paints and paintbrushes to markers and chalk. The best thing about this easel is it is easily adjustable to grow with your child. I didn’t know this was a feature until I was putting it together. This also came with the clips that you see at the top, this can hold your child’s beautiful masterpiece while he/she is working on it.
I highly recommend checking out Brilliant Sky Toys & Books, check to see if there is one located in your area – store location finder!

I just loved having an easel as a child and when I had kids I bought them one too. Its hours of creative fun for the kids.
