You don’t need a membership just to visit a toy library (this isn’t Costco 🤭).

The best way to see if it’s right for your family is to drop in and have a look around. Browse the toys, see what’s available, and have a chat with one of the friendly volunteers. They’re usually parents or carers just like you.

If it feels like a good fit, you can sign up for a membership that suits your family.

According to Toy Libraries Australia, a staggering 51% of toys bought in Australia end up in landfill within 12 months. A lot of these toys are made from plastic and come in plastic packaging, further compounding the impact they have when discarded so quickly and easily.

Toy libraries aim to change that, by enabling people to borrow high-quality toys, rather than buying and binning them. It’s a solution that’s less burdensome on wallets, and far less burdensome on the environment.

Many people find toy libraries near them online, checking out local community centres or book libraries, or even create their own by engaging their community.

What do kids really learn from pretend play? A lot more than it looks like…

When children run a café, build a rocket or care for a “sick” teddy, they’re building real skills. Think empathy, language, problem-solving, creativity and learning to navigate big feelings.

It might look like make-believe, but it’s helping them make sense of the world 💛

Toy libraries are full of open-ended toys that spark this kind of play again and again, with something new to imagine each visit.
