Item Description

Inspired by the birth of his daughter, David Sakowski opened Magpie Kids, a boutique catering to babies, toddlers, and their progressively minded guardians. His new venture, like its nearby namesake, Magpie, is thoughtfully stocked: Here, handmade toys “have that kind of retro flavor,” he says. “You need your imagination to play with them.” But, refreshingly, not batteries. Located in Davis Square at 95 Elm St, Somerville, MA 02144
