This is a kids’ paradise of the Beethovenstraat. Here you find everything for the little ones: clothes, gifts, accessories, a children’s hairdresser and even the possibility to celebrate your children’s party here. But hey, mommy deserves a treat as well and that’s why you can also go here for breakfast, lunch, cakes and coffee from Bocca Coffee.

Big & Belg

A favourite store of many mommies and daddies. Big & Belg has two stores in the city, one on the J.P. Heijestraat and a second one on the Ferdinand Bol. For both stores, it goes that the windows are always filled with beautiful inspiration and creativity. Besides clothes, they also sell toys!

De kleine parade

In the heart of De Pijp, you’ll find De Kleine Parade. A superb spot with beautiful children’s clothing, a rentable studio, and a café. Many kids’ stores are colourful, but often a bit cluttered. At De Kleine Parade, you truly enter a place that feels ‘complete.’ Every item has its own place, and the entire interior is harmonized. The studio frequently hosts workshops such as craft parties – how nice is that?
