Behind the scenes of a - expertly filmed by one of our junior toy testers. All new items are unpacked, built and tested by volunteers Sam, Helen or Monique. The toy number is generated from our catalogue system, and each piece is labelled with this number. Then we log all pieces into the catalogue, add a photo, toy description and any warnings. This Hape Ocean Rescue Set has warnings for 3yrs+ as it has some tiny pieces that are choking hazards for younger children. The next step is to create, print and laminate the bag and boards cards. Once we have bagged the toy or parts of the toy, everything is delivered to the library, ready for borrowing! Quite a process, but worth it when you consider the hours of play these toys bring to 😊

New toy alert! The Fun Tunnel Soft Play Mat is a versatile addition to Carindale Toy Library - thanks to a recent grant from the Australian Government Department of Social Services. Perfect for gross motor skills like rolling, crawling and tumbling, and then magically transforms into a tunnel or cubby for imaginative play! It’s been loved by our junior toy testers, and is ready to be borrowed! Will it be in the library when you visit next?

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.

We have some fresh new toys hitting the shelves for Term 2! Play with Words is a category which includes toys that focus on language development and use of words within play. Thanks to a Toy Libraries Australia grant from the Australian Government Department of Social Services, we have THREE different sets of ‘My Busy Books’ which include a book, playmat to match the story and 10 figurines. PWW029 shown here includes Paw Patrol and Hot Wheels, and we also have sets with Spider-Man, Disney Princesses and Peppa Pig. We’re excited to see who borrows them first, they’re on the shelves and waiting for you on Thursday 30th April!

Exciting news!! We are lucky recipients of a grant of $1000 from the Australian Government Department of Social Services. We’re looking forward to purchasing some specialist sensory, fine motor and gross motor toys for children with disability or developmental delay. How good for improving accessibility for our members and their families! ❤️
