By Jessica Kline, Publisher and Editor Macaroni Kid Clifton-Montclair August 13, 2020

A great place to shop has always been on Etsy and now more than ever people are looking to make their playrooms more conducive to at-home learning. Macaroni Kid rounded up some of our favorite Etsy shops owned by locals right in our community! If you have never used Etsy before, I think you'll have a lot of fun browsing. You can search for anything you want and write each account a direct question too.
