Vermont Business Magazine The Tinkering Turtle will close its doors on December 31, 2024. After a fun year of partnership with Vermont Teddy and presence up the hill, ECHO will refocus its retail energy at ECHO's Museum Toy & Gift Store at 1 College Street.
Over the past year, they have connected with the community to bring imaginative toys and joy to families. Thousands of people came through the doors to find a unique selection of toys and bears.
Starting in January 2025, ECHO will have a presence at Vermont Flannel and Vermont Teddy Bear’s new store — located at 72 Church Street — with curated STEM toys. Proceeds will continue to support science education and ECHO, Vermont’s science and nature museum.
The new store represents Vermont Flannel, Vermont Teddy Bear, & ECHO’s ongoing commitment to local engagement.
In addition to the curated selection at the new Church Street location, The Vermont Teddy Bear Company, and ECHO are excited to continue our partnership and will soon announce details of what is next for our STEM-focused collaboration.
Further information will be announced at echovermont.org and on social media.
