Today is International Day of Play — a reminder that play is every child's right.

Play is important because it helps children learn about the world, build confidence, develop imagination, practise problem-solving, strengthen motor skills and connect with others. It also supports emotional wellbeing by giving children a safe way to express themselves, explore ideas and feel joy.

At Port Melbourne Toy Library, our mission is to create a welcoming space where local families can easily access quality toys.

Together, we can help protect every child's right to play.

This World Environment Day, we're celebrating a more sustainable way to play.
Kids grow, change and discover new interests quickly.
In fact, children can lose interest in toys within just 36 days, and around 51% of toys end up in landfill in less than a year.
That's why toy libraries matter.
At Port Melbourne Toy Library, toys are shared, borrowed, returned and loved by many families.
