Welcome to Columbia's Birthday Headquarters, located in Northeast Columbia at the Village at Sandhill, We are locally owned and operated and provide an extremely unique selection not available at larger retailers including: puzzles, developmental toys, arts and crafts kits, science and nature products, construction toys, books, infant and toddler gifts, dolls and plush.
We take great pride in calling ourselves "Your Neighborhood Toy Store" because we are just that: a hub of activity, a meeting spot for kids and families, a place where we get to know you by name and where going the extra mile for you is the norm. We go to work each day to provide you, our neighbors, with a warm, friendly environment in which to shop, meet, and learn.
Learning Express also offers a rich program of customer services, highlighted below, including complimentary gift-wrapping every day. We also offer a birthday gift registry for your child as well as party favors for the guests. Click on ‘Calendar’ in the menu bar above to view a full list of free activities for families in our community.
Our award-winning product partners include: Alex, American Girl, Calico Critters, Creativity for Kids, LEGO, Melissa & Doug, Playmobil, Scientific Explorer, Sticky Mosaics, Ugly Doll, and many more. Complementing our selection of educational toys is an assortment of fashion accessories, jewelry, party favors, cards, and customizable gifts.
