Chaos & Kindness Toy Drive 2025

Wonderland Books & Toys is a drop-off location for the Chaos & Kindness Toy Drive 2025. They collect new, unwrapped toys for kids (infants through teenagers) as well as gift cards to provide gifts to children throughout the State of New Hampshire. If you have a gift card, please make sure it is brought to the main counter of the store so it gets into the right hands and isn’t lost in the shuffle of toys.

You can drop off an item you have already purchased or you can make a purchase at the store and put it directly in the box.

We do not have an end date yet, but as soon as that is provided, we will update info here as well as on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

If you would like more information, are interested in knowing about drop-off locations closer to where you live, or would like to set up a drop-off location at your own business, you can link to their C&K Toy Drive 2025 Facebook Group by clicking here.

WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The store has gone through a facelift, but the website is still under construction. We’re still working on our Products page – but they do have a fairly accurate list of the brands we carry – though they are always changing as we discover new vendors.

Trying to decide on the best way to set-up the Blog Page. Once that’s decided, there will be some writing to read to or not about children’s and YA literature, family games, and toys for all ages. Check back periodically to see changes that have been made. (11/01/2025)


Wonderland Books & Toys


Manchester’s only children’s book and toy store is independent, locally, Hispanic, and woman-owned with products for infants through teens and young adults.

In addition to books for infants through young adults, we also have dedicated sections for educators/teachers which carry reference materials, non-fiction stories, flash cards, etc. Another section is for parents/caregivers that include books for new parents, difficult topics to discuss with kids, and general parenting titles.

We also carry an array of games and toys with the majority being education-based. Board games for ages 2+ have been curated as well as wooden toys, items and books geared for kids on the spectrum, and dedicated sections for music, science and nature, things that go, cooking, and more.

Wonderland hopes to bring whimsy into our customers lives while sharing the joys of reading and learning with the whole family.

Come visit us at Maple Valley Plaza (cross-streets of Maple & Valley in prior Double Midnight Comics location). We are across the street from Gill Stadium on Maple and from the Manchester Police Department on Valley. In the Plaza, we are located between the convenience store and the nail salon.

About Me

I’m excited to be opening a children’s book and toy store in Manchester, NH. I’ve loved children’s literature since, well, I was a child. However, it was a job at my local public library shelving picture books during high school that solidified that love.

Instilling a love of reading is such an important gift to give to a person – of any age. But if you can expose them to the joy of books at an early age it may also encourage not only the reading of fiction, but also the desire to learn about the world.

While books are a gateway to learning, not every child excels or feels the same comfort in books as others. Educational toys and games are a way to expose children to learning through an alternative method. It can help them approach concepts they may otherwise shy away from because they may think it’s not their topic or are not familiar with it.

As this store expands, there will be other items and activities added – so please keep an eye on this website, our Facebook page, and Instagram for updates.
