Our friends from Makin' Faces are BACK!

Tania and the crew are ready to wow you with their incredible free-hand face painting. If you can imagine it, they can (almost certainly) paint it!

Off-the-face painting is still a great option, too! Many kids - and adults - prefer a fun arm or leg 'tattoo'.

Visit Brighten Up in July & August for FREE FACE PAINTING
by Makin’ Faces
Thursdays in Erin
& Fridays in Fergus
3pm to 6pm

Are you a puzzle lover? So are we!

Work has begun on our latest giant puzzle at our Fergus store! Regulars of Brighten Up Toys & Games may already know that 735 Tower Street, Fergus is home to three giant puzzles constructed on site: 'Around the World' at 42,000 pieces, 'Wildlife' at 33,600 pieces and 'Memorable Disney Moments' at 40,320 pieces! All three puzzles were constructed by customers. 

This year's giant puzzle is...

Jan van Haasteren Comic XXXL at 30200 pieces!

The Jan van Haasteren Studio celebrated its 10 year anniversary with this extra, extra large puzzle. The illustrators have chosen a selection of their favourite puzzles from the past and included stories from behind the scenes. The 10th puzzle is brand new!

How can you participate?

Come visit us! Construction of this puzzle will be at the 735 Tower Street South, Fergus location of Brighten Up Toys & Games. The puzzle will be completed in sections and will typically be available for customers to puzzle during regular business hours. 

Mon-Wed; 9:30am-7:00pm

Thu-Fri; 9:30am-8:00pm

Sat; 9:00am-5:00pm

We know puzzling can be very addictive, but appreciate your understanding of our business hours and that, on occasion, puzzling may be unavailable as we switch from section to section. 

Details of the final assembly of the puzzle will be released nearer to completion!
