Where can I buy toys in Austin from Texas Toy Lab?

At the stall. Texas Toy Lab sells at markets and fairs around Central Texas: Austin, Liberty Hill and Taylor so far. The Lab's own toys are also orderable online at texastoylab.com, shipped anywhere in the US. Market dates are on texastoylab.com/markets.html.

Does Texas Toy Lab have a toy store in Austin?

No walk-in shop. Texas Toy Lab is Joseph's home Printer Ranch in Texas plus a traveling market stall around Austin.

What makes these Austin toys different from a regular toy shop?

Every toy on the website is the Lab's own design, 3D printed at home in Texas by Joseph. Kids can even design their own in the Imaginator. At the stall you can watch a real printer grow a toy layer by layer.

Q: Are Texas Toy Lab toys actually made in Texas?

Yes. Joseph prints the Lab's own designs at home in Texas on a small Printer Ranch: his crew of Texas critters and Lab Bots, the Pocket Crew and Genuine Printer Poop. This is not a warehouse of imported toys with a Texas sticker.

Hunting for toys that are not the same bin as everyone else? This is my Lab. I print every toy at home in Texas, Dad helps me run the printers, and the ones on this website are the Lab's own designs.

What you will actually find

Joseph's crew of Texas critters and Lab Bots, the Pocket Crew and Genuine Printer Poop. Not a shelf of factory brands. Tap a toy to see it up close.
