There are a million things you can buy for kids. Many of those things are junk. They are items that kids will never use or play with. Most parents and gift-givers prefer to find the toy or game that grabs a kid's attention. They want to give the stuffed animal that is so soft and cute that it will become the favorite in the pile. Giving a game that gets everyone involved and having fun is the best feeling. There are very few stores that provide a good selection of these types of kids' gifts. In Fort Collins, there is about to be one less.

Several years ago, my kids demanded "fidget spinners". These were a hot item when they first came out. It was hard to find a quality one. Learning Express in Fort Collins, not only had fidget spinners, but they also had fidget cubes and other similar gadgets that I could play with and compare before I made my purchase. The staff at Learning Express could always recommend a fun new family game. This store will be missed.
