Karen Hardwick of Cranbornes will open a toy shop selling intelligent games, gifts and puzzles designed to stimulate inquisitive minds.

The store opens next Saturday in the former Box of Allsorts shop on Shaftesbury High Street.

Karen says recyclable and sustainable products will feature prominently.
