Many people say "let's go visit that toy shop in Sassafras" but never remember the name. Well there it is. Geppetto's. And what a great name for a toy shop that specialises in puppets and puppetry.
Kids of all ages are fascinated with the sheer variety of puppets on sale. Many are incredibly life like, with arms that move independently, two fingers controlling the arms, and two fingers also controlling the upper and lower jaw. This gives the mouth of the toys the ability to move, which can make for some great talking puppet moments. And that's just the hand puppets.
One of our favorites is a white rat puppet we bought here years ago. The way the mouth and arms move make it uncanny and lifelike, and it has a range of personalities and moods. Young kids in particulate think this puppet is very funny, and sometimes a little scary.

Geppetto's does not just sell puppets however. There is a also a large range of clever and unusual toys and puzzles that you can buy. This makes this shop a good place to get presents and gifts, while at the same time enjoying a scenic trip into the hills.
There are jigsaw puzzles, magic tricks, ball bearing games, rope games, card tricks and more. No run of the mill stuff you can find anywhere, this shop is always chock full of surprises.
Geppetto's Is on the main Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, at the corner of Mountain HIghway.
Opposite this is a small park, perfect for the kids to play in for awhile if they are getting bored with mum and dad's shopping trip.
