Hidden gem: Toy store near IKEA Tampines

T For Toys, a gigantic toy store located at the industrial area near Tampines IKEA -- and hidden in plain sight -- has been selling early childhood educational toys.

But not many people are aware of the store's existence because of its location at Space@Tampines -- even though it has been around for years.

A mother recently posted photos of the store on Facebook on Jan. 20, 2022, which has been widely circulated as people were surprised to see a well-stocked toy store that is not Toys"R"Us.

The post read: "If you have little ones at home, need to get a gift or teachers looking for encouragement rewards, do check them out if you are around the area. They only accept e-payment and parking is just right outside the shop."
