While we do our best to have all the toys easily displayed, some of our larger outdoor toys with multiple pieces only fit in the large bags. This doesnt mean they aren't just as fun and exciting!

There's some hidden treasures to be found with a quick check of the tag located at the top of the bag 🙂

We're joining Little Loops Exchange Townsville for their fill a bag event at the end of this month!

We love everything they stand for, especially their motto: “Where mini fashion meets mindful living.” 💚

Just like us, they’re passionate about keeping things out of landfill and giving families the opportunity to make more sustainable choices. 🌱
They make it easy to swap clothes your little ones have grown out of for new sizes they need, giving pre-loved clothing a whole new life! 👗👕♻️

Have a large collection of Woolworths Disney Ooshies? 🥰 Instead of letting those little characters sit forgotten in a drawer, why not turn them into the stars of your child’s play!

🏰 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘅 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀
Build a huge magnetic-tile tower and add Ooshies as the characters living, climbing and exploring their magical castle!

🧱 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀
Create little homes, castles, shops or villages using wooden blocks, with the Ooshies becoming the residents. 🏠✨

🫧 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘆𝘀
Add Ooshies to rice, pasta, kinetic sand, playdough or other sensory materials and let little hands dig, find, sort and create imaginative worlds. 🌈

🎭 The possibilities are endless!
Use them for storytelling, small-world play, counting, colour matching, pretend play and so much more.

Sometimes the best play resources are the little things we already have at home or ones we can borrow from the Toy Library! 💚

At the Toy Library, our toys are never forgotten. They're never abandoned. They're simply waiting for the next child to laugh, learn, create, and grow with them.
Because while children grow up, the joy of play never gets old.

💛 Every toy has a story. 💙 Every family starts a new chapter. 🧸 And every borrowed toy gets the chance to make a difference again and again.
