Izilla Toys' crafts and games

I mentioned a while back that Izilla Toys [0] is having a major sale through the month of February: Everything is at least 10 percent off, with some items up to 50 percent off.

But that isn't the only reason to head over for a visit. Two regular storytimes are now scheduled each week: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Thursdays and 2 to 3 p.m. Sundays. Izilla's big back room is a comfy place to lounge and listen, and the store will provide juice and snacks.

On Monday, Feb. 11, Izilla is hosting a crafty afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. Kids ages 5 and up are invited to stop in and learn how to make wool felt and other fun stuff. On Wednesday, Feb. 20, Izilla will have a game night with free pizza, which they say will be especially fun for older kids.

And you'd better start practicing now, because Friday, Feb. 29, they'll be celebrating Leap Day with a Leap-a-thon jump-rope contest from 4 to 6 p.m.
