(Madison, WI) Learning Express Toys, a locally owned and operated toy store in Madison, WI, has released their 2013 Top Holiday Toys, designed to offer shoppers a selection of toys and games from top manufacturers chosen for both their educational and play value.

“Our Top Toys of 2013 represent the best current options available for high-quality toys and games,” says Catherine Tye, owner of Learning Express Toys in Madison.  “All of these toys are designed to give lots of entertainment value to the children on your shopping list,” adds Tye.
