One simple change can make old toys feel new again. 💡

Instead of having every toy available all the time, try rotating them.

Putting some toys away for a few weeks and bringing them back later can:
✔️ Keep play fresh
✔️ Encourage creativity
✔️ Help children focus
✔️ Reduce overwhelm
✔️ Support changing interests

As Dr Kate Renshaw explains in our new Play at Home resource, toy libraries make toy rotation easy by giving families access to a wide variety of toys without needing to constantly buy more.

One of the best kept secrets in parenting? A toy library.

A place where families can borrow toys, discover new play experiences, connect with their community and support children's learning through play.

Simple, practical and full of value for growing families.

Check out one of the 400 toy libraries nationwide.

Borrowing is more than just play. It teaches our children stewardship, sharing, respect and sustainability.

We're open every Saturday from 1pm-3pm. Come on down and take a look at what you can borrow 👀

Through borrowing, sharing and exploring new play experiences, children have opportunities to build skills that will support them throughout childhood and beyond.

As this parent shared, regular visits to the toy library have helped their daughter learn to care for toys and share them with others, valuable lessons that grow through everyday play.

What has your child learnt through their toy library experience? We'd love to hear your story in the comments.

Did you know that a toy library membership is just $2 per week (on average).
That gives your family access to hundreds of age appropriate toys that grow with your child as they develop and their interests change.

It's less toys filling up your home. Once your children are bored with a toy, pack it up and swap it at the toy library for something new and exciting 🔁

Drop into your nearest toy library and see what's available.
