Happy World Play Day! 🌍

Today, along with Toy Libraries all around the motu and the globe, we celebrate International Toy Library Association's World Play Day.

On this World Play Day, we celebrate not only play itself, but also all those who continue every day to make the world more human through play.

Toy Libraries across Aotearoa are holding events, play sessions, and open days to honour every child's right to play. Find your local HERE: https://www.toylibrary.co.nz/find-a-toy-library.html
