Ben's Crafts

Awesome place for crafts and unique items. They have a huge selection of craft supplies, decor and candy.

Yes it's a wonderful take me back store with local staff, but it's about the owner Floyd Craft. I worked for Floyd for 5 years so I saw first hand his passion for helping customers find what they're looking for , his devotion towards the community and his continued support of the university ( BGSU ). Floyd wouldn't want the attention to be about him but it's true . I don't lie , and I'm not some local guide trying to get points on leaving a bunch of 5 star reviews. When I think of downtown Bowling Green it's Ben Franklin ( now Ben's) and Mr Crafts vision to enrich so many people from all over , once a customer always a customer.

Ben's for the win! What a gem of a store to have in BG! After going back and forth with Amazon trying to figure out if the gift I had ordered would be on time (it wasn't) I headed to Ben's in hopes of finding something on Christmas Eve. I found the perfect gift that was even better than what I had ordered in Amazon!

Great local craft store! Perfect for any hobbyist looking for something they need to finish an art project. The frame shop is full of awesome selection, and there's plenty of knick knacks and toys for a quick gift.

Such a fun shop! Selling just about anything you could want for a crafts. You can go there to buy supplies for parties, rocket kits, candy for any occasion, and a large amount of baking products and molds that you can't find elsewhere.

Love this store! I shop here for children's birthdays and Christmas. Takes me back to my childhood when I'd visit with my grandma. The people are friendly and helpful and the selection of toys and books is better than most big box stores, in my opinion. Bonus....your supporting a local business when you shop here. I'll be back soon.

10/10. Crafts, candy, toys, frame shop, balloons! All you need in life!

Great craft store with a very good educational toy department. Nostalgic in it's layout. Mundane to interesting items for sale. Ben's still has a candy counter too.

Great mom and pop place to go. I love the nik naks, the candy selection and most of all the atmosphere! Reminds me of the Ben Franklin five and dimes from when I was a kid. I try to go here often as possible to keep supporting them. They've been a BG anchor for many years and I hope they stay another many years !

The staff was attentive & willing to chat & discuss choices. There is a connected craft store which has a extensive selection of yarn in every price point AND staff willing to help an indecisive shopper. I was especially thankful the lady was knowledgeable about what wld work for my project & didn't push me to buy the most expensive. Honest & helpful- why I like shopping in small town shops!

Great place for all the old time games, puzzles, and goodies you didn't think you needed!

I was looking for toys for my 5 month old son and found everything I wanted. Also was looking for toys for the children's services of wood county and found everything I wanted for that as well. People who work there are very friendly and helpful. The prices may seem high but they always have specials and coupons happening. The toys are super high quality too. Would recommend.

This place is awesome. Vintage toys are great. Also has candy and treats. It is kind of overwhelming when you first walk in, but make sure you explore the entire store. Has lots of crafting material and puppets and cool toys. I found unopened baseball cards for 25 cents in the back. Awesome.

Staff was very helpful and even found us a coupon to use for our Christmas shopping.

Good selection of toys, decor, candy, and crafting supplies.

I've been shopping at Ben's since I was a tiny lil'townie! ❤ They have everything here - art tools & accessories, office supplies, scrapbooks & paper crafts, greeting cards & stickers, candy & fudge, baking supplies, seasonal treats, party supplies & balloons, an in-house frame gallery for your precious prints, and lots of toys!! I feel like a kid every time I'm here!

Great for window-shopping or last-minute gifts!

I go to the touch and feel department at Ben's.
Yes I mean the yarn shop. Bright and fresh colors, handmade yarns, crochet, knitting and quilting books makes this a needle workers haven.

Wow!! This place is HUGE and has EVERYTHING. They make fudge in- house s well as sell numerous hand made chocolates and confections. There are tons of art supplies, vintage games, new names, fabrics, specialty yarns, all types of dolls, coloring books etc etc etc... the staff is knowledgeable about different types of crafting projects, so be sure to inquire!

I love this store. I can always find unique things here I cant find anywhere else. I love the variety of stuff and of course the candy section! They are always so friendly and helpful.

Great store to find kraft supplies! Their chocolate is amazing🤗 Frame shop does a marvelous job

This place is great! Everyone in the store is super helpful and friendly. The ladies and gentleman in the matting and framing department are my heroes! They do fantastic work and will help you save on cost if you need something framed up.
