5 stars! Came during the Fire & Ice Valentine Festival because every time I drive by it's closed! The owner was amassing & so helpful & told me if I ever wanted to shopping to call his card! he was extremely friendly and helpful and I would mich rather shop at a small business over a big chain store!

This store is truly amazing! It's well-stocked with unique and hard-to-find toys and games for all ages, and the owner is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for his customers. I was looking for a rare toy for a Christmas present and stopped in Skeeter's Toy Box. The owner, Dave, put one on order for me, and it arrived in just a few days! It's such a wonderful experience to shop in such a welcoming, well-run store. I encourage everyone to check out this Awesome toy store when visiting Putnam, CT.Shop Local!! ?

I love this store! I am a huge Lego nut and there is a nice assortment in this store. I would go on my lunch to browse and talk with the owner. I have made a few purchases and would like to continue to make purchases here in the future.

Wonderful store with a wonderful owner. It's especially important to me that I take my very young son into stores that follow the safest protocols -- it means so much to me to have a place I can take him in such strange times.

Great business and fair pricing! I had an issue with shipping and received prompt and courteous service which helped me get my order quickly. I would recommend Skeeter's Toybox to anyone wanting to support a business with quality products and service to match.

Fantastic. Ordered online and the items arrived quickly. Owner knows his stuff. Informed, helpful, and awesome selection. Great place and great business. Will order again.PS. As a doctor and a public health professional, i think this business is doing EVERYTHING right by requiring masks, offering tons of online ordering options, and keeping the community safe. With options like this, anyone who doesn’t agree is misinformed and misguided. Great local businessfolks with amazing help. Thanks for all the help.

I love downtown Putnam and when Skeeter's Toy Box came to town I knew that I had found my family toy store. The pandemic has given our family a reason to shower our children with toys more so than we would have under normal circumstances. I knew I wanted to shop local and knew exactly where to do it. My husband and I ordered some Playmobil at the store and it was such a fun and easy process. Thank you for helping to make our kids Christmas awesome!

I can’t adequately express how satisfied I am with my shopping experience at Skeeter’s. Even though I arrived at a time when the shop was busy, the man who waited on me was kind and generous with his time and guided me to the perfect gifts for my niece and nephew. The toys were high quality and reasonably priced. I’ll be doing all of my toy shopping there from now on. Thanks for making my shopping trip so memorable.

I purchased a Harry Potter Lego Advent Calendar. It was shipped and received in a timely manner and faster then expected. David's website is fast and easy to use. If you're in the market for a specific item, he usually can find it. I hope to get down to see his store in person as it's the best toy store I've seen yet.

Skeeter's Toybox hearkens back to the way retail used to be, before big box stores dominated the landscape. Skeeter's Toybox shines for its curated collection of quality toys and brands, from Melissa & Doug to BRIO to Curious George and beyond, offering a wealth of toys designed to engage young minds, spark creativity, and provide hours of entertainment (with ample learning thrown in).And if you're looking for someone closer to 80 than 8, don't fret - adults will have as much fun with the games and puzzles as the kids do. And if you're not local, don't fret, online ordering is a breeze and your package will arrive packed with the care and consideration that you'd get for an in-person purchase.
