Overbooked kids and overworked adults deserve a time-out for Tantrum, delightfully stocked with musical otters, wooden ducks on wheels, and a mechanical seal kids can ride for a quarter. Mid-century-modern circus is the design aesthetic in new and vintage items, including magic bunny lamps, a tiny big-top tent with a cast of toy mice, and animal masks to start your own circus.
