Play Time 5/16/2006

I don't know what I would do without Play Time to satisfy all my crafting needs. This store is stuffed to the brim with every item you can think of, plus a few you haven't. Party goods, kids' craft kits, pens, stationery, artificial flowers, yarn, ribbon, jewelry findings, canvases, paints -- it's all here. If anything, the store can be a bit overwhelming, with spinning displays and fixtures stuffed into the narrow aisles, and the shelves overflowing with wares, but the selection makes it worth it. The prices are higher than you would find at Michael's, and if you need something specific, it may be helpful to call to check if it is in stock, because when items are out of stock, they sometimes remain so for weeks at a time. Nonetheless, it's a great neighborhood store with a fantastic selection of craft items. more

A Giant Craft Store You Probably Never Knew Was Giant 3/23/2006

This is a giant, craft store way off the beaten path. The name "Play Time," gives off the impression they are a party store, but they are not. Actually, they are, but they are also a craft store, a hobby store, nd art store, a fabric store, and the list goes on. They have been around for over 50 years and carry literally everything craft-like you can think of. If you're ever in the Arlington area and in need of anything crafty or art-like, try Play Time. There's a large chance they will carry it! more

Search through the junk, it's a gold mine in here! 8/18/2005

If you do not mind searing amid endless racks of what appears to be junk, then Play Time Inc. is the place for all of your arts and crafts supplies needs. When first walking in to Play Time Inc the array of disorganized and mismatched aisles may intimidate you. Ask any one of the staff and they will prove their store is not an arts and crafts hovel but rather a mecca for artists, stay at home moms and elementary school kids needing a crafting fix. The prices are slightly higher than the big craft chains (Michaels, AC Moore) but the high number of repeat customers and locally owned atmosphere are appealing. Play Time Inc is a great resource for questions about your crafting needs. The staff is knowledgeable and can offer tips and advice for all your crafting questions. With a large parking lot in the back, as well as on street parking in the front, it is one of the few Arlington businesses with an acceptable amount of parking. more

Supply Store 8/14/2005

This is a great store that has any arts and crafts supply that you could possibly need. If you love art and crafts like I do then you will have fun at this store, because new ideas come to you as you walk through the isles. I personally like getting different ideas to wrap children's presents. more
