Boutique La Citrouille: Play as the Starting Point of Childhood
Une aventure familiale portée par trois passionnés : Noée-Rose, Carole et Antoine.
For over 26 years, Boutique Citrouille has been a true Montreal reference for quality toys. Their approach goes far beyond selling: every toy is carefully chosen with the belief that play is at the heart of learning and family connection.
At Boutique Citrouille, play is more than a pastime: it’s a language, a doorway into the world.“Play represents the starting point of childhood. It’s through play that we learn the most: our values, our way of being with others, and how we prepare ourselves for the world as we grow.” This thoughtful and tender vision is reflected in every corner of the boutique — a space where parents and children truly meet.
Playing Better, Not More
At a time when overconsumption weighs heavily on our daily lives, Boutique Citrouille champions a conscious and sustainable approach to play. “In 2025, we can no longer ignore the challenges of overconsumption. Giving toys a second life is a tangible way to reduce our impact while celebrating quality objects that can be passed down from generation to generation.”
At Citrouille, durable materials and timeless creations take center stage: toys that age well, can be repaired, and reimagined from one pair of hands to another. It’s a philosophy that deeply resonates with LudoLudo’s mission: extending the life of toys to preserve the magic of play.
A Selection, Made with Love
What makes Citrouille unique is the sensitivity behind each choice. “We choose toys we truly believe in: ones that bring as much joy to parents as they do to children.” Their selection is guided by a childlike heart: by beauty, texture, and wonder. Here, play doesn’t stop with age; it becomes a bridge between generations.
Their Favourite: Kapla
Among their favorites? The iconic Kapla, especially the Autumn Box.
A timeless classic that sparks creativity across ages and beautifully embodies Citrouille’s philosophy: simple, durable, infinite.
A heartfelt thank you to Boutique Citrouille for being a LudoLudo partner, and for reminding us that play is not only how we learn, it’s how we grow. 🌿
