What is your child's favourite toy from the Ashburton Toy Library?

Little Oakley has borrowed the Tonies Box for 4 weeks now (had to re-hire) and is obsessed! We have borrowed 2 sets of characters and now listen all day every day. Mumma Jess had no idea what a Toniebox was until we borrowed one, but now can see the huge benefits of the Toniebox, less TV, more stories, singing, imagination.

Thank goodness the library has 2 Toniebox's available to hire so other families can try it at the same time!

Might have to ask Santa for a Toniebox for Christmas at this rate 😅

🚒🏆 Hall of Fame Toy Alert! 🏆🚒

We have a clear favourite at Ashburton Toy Library... and it's the Hape Fire Station! 🔥🚒

This much-loved toy has been borrowed an incredible 63 times, making it our most hired toy of all time! 🤯

With exciting rescue missions, imaginative role play, and endless opportunities for storytelling, it's easy to see why children keep coming back to it. From putting out pretend fires to saving the day, this toy has kept generations of little firefighters busy.

❤️ 63 hires.
❤️ Countless adventures.
❤️ Hundreds of happy play hours.

Have your little ones borrowed the Hape Fire Station before? We'd love to hear their favourite rescue story in the comments! 👇🚒
