October 11, 2011--MINNEAPOLIS—Creative Kidstuff is now open in the Airport Mall at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), offering a whimsical, wonderful and wildly imaginative array of children’s toys, clothing and gifts. Previously located on Concourse F at Terminal 1-Lindbergh, the new space is larger and offers a colorful, inviting design with product selection that focuses on imagination, learning, creativity and most of all, fun.
Creative Kidstuff is known locally and nationally for providing the newest, most innovative toys developed for the specialty toy market, offering products from nationally known specialty retail brands like Alex Art Products, Educational Insights, Hello Kitty, Melissa and Doug, Klutz, Brainquest and more. The MSP location also carries items from local Minnesota companies: Manhattan Toy, MindWare and Lakeshirts.
The Creative Kidstuff motto is “We know kids, we like kids, we know what kids like,” which translates into their kaleidoscope of store merchandise and friendly “please touch the toys!” atmosphere. Sales associates often can be seen giving impromptu demonstrations as they play with the newest toys and encourage children and families to interact with the hands-on displays.
“Creative Kidstuff not only offers a great shopping experience for travelers with children, but also it provides a sense of the innovative retail environment that awaits visitors outside the airport, in the Twin Cities community,” said Jeff Hamiel, executive director of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, owner and operator of MSP. “Travelers who check out the new MSP Creative Kidstuff can check off some of the items on their holiday gift list while they’re at it, making the most of their time at the airport.”
