If there’s one thing that all children love, it’s toys. Whether you’re a parent or you’ve got some younger relatives, finding a toy that’s long-lasting, affordable, and appeals to the youngins is no easy task.
Introducing Tai Sing Corporation – it’s a toy store hidden within Textile Centre in Bugis. From simple old-school toys to newer, electronic ones, here’s everything you can expect before swinging by:
Getting toys for kids can really burn a hole in your pocket. You’ve got to get them one for their birthday, Children’s Day, and Christmas for a start. Plus, you’ve got to get them for their friends too, if your child’s been invited to their birthday parties.
Thankfully Tai Sing Corporation sells its toys at wholesale prices. They’ve got toys suitable for kids aged 0 to whatever age kids stop playing with toys.

Develop creativity and their imagination with play-pretend sets from ($5.90) where kids can roleplay as doctors, chefs, construction workers, and cashiers. Once fine motor skills have been developed, let kids have a go at the remote-controlled toys (from $13.90) like super cars and tanks, robots, and dinosaurs. The store even sells spare parts like tyres to replace broken components.
This toy store isn’t just for little ones. The whole family can bond over board games (from $4.90) such as brain teasers like rubik’s cubes, chess, and battleship, as well as simpler guessing games and bingo.

Apart from toys, new parents about to welcome their kid into the world can even stock up on baby products. Cross off items on the newborn checklist such as strollers (from $319), baby car seats and carriers (from $99), bottles and tableware (from $9.90), and even grooming kits for infants (from $45.90).
If you’ve got a kid’s birthday party coming up, it might be time to swing by to get him a present that isn’t a book or a pair of socks. So, how does one get there? The toy store is located on the 3rd floor of Textile Centre and the nearest MRT stations are Lavender and Nicoll Highway.
From Lavender MRT Station, it’s a 10-minute walk from Exit A. Walking from Nicoll Highway MRT will take less time – about 6 minutes from Exit A. Otherwise, the nearest bus stops are ‘Opp Textile Centre’ and ‘Sultan Plaza’.
