This is one of the most popular resources in our toy library — so popular that we actually have two, and they are almost always booked out! Children absolutely love exploring and playing with them, and alongside the fun, there is also so much valuable learning taking place through this one simple resource.

Spin sensory boards provide a wide range of learning opportunities through hands-on, interactive play, including:

Developing fine motor skills through spinning, turning, grasping, and manipulating different objects
Strengthening hand-eye coordination and control
Encouraging problem solving and critical thinking as children explore how different parts move and work
Supporting sensory development through movement, texture, colour, and visual tracking
Building concentration and focus through repetitive, calming play experiences
Encouraging curiosity, exploration, and independent learning
Introducing early maths and science concepts such as cause and effect, movement, speed, and direction
Promoting language development as children describe what they can see, feel, and do
Providing a calming and regulating sensory experience for many children

It’s amazing to see how much learning, discovery, and joy can come from one well-loved resource!

Our Toy Library is a fun and affordable way for families to borrow a wide range of toys for their tamariki to enjoy at home. Instead of buying new toys, you can hire them, giving children access to new and exciting play experiences while saving money and reducing clutter. We have hundreds of toys to choose from, including family games, outdoor games, riding toys, board games, puzzles, soft play, and everything in between—there’s something for every age and stage.
We offer flexible membership options to suit your needs:
$60 for a full year
$30 per term
$30 for a birthday hire
Members can borrow up to four toys at a time and keep them for up to one month before returning them and choosing something new.
We are open every Thursday from 10am–12pm, providing a great opportunity to connect with other whānau while selecting toys.
Our Toy Library is run with the help of volunteers, and we are always looking for more people to get involved. Volunteering is a great way to support your community and help keep this valuable service running.

🎶✨ Continuing NZ Music Month! ✨🎶

To keep the celebrations going, here are some more amazing musical instruments you can hire from our Toy Library!

From rhythm-makers to sound explorers, we have a wonderful variety available for tamariki to enjoy. Music play supports creativity, listening skills, coordination, and confidence—all while having lots of fun 🎵

It’s a great way for children to explore sound, express themselves, and discover the joy of music in their own unique way 💛

Pop in and see what’s available next week—we’d love to share the music with you! 🌟

We are so grateful

We are so grateful

Weave Hawke's Bay and the CHB Toy Library are incredibly grateful to Toy Library Federation of NZ and Lotteries for their generous support that helped to enable the re-launch of our Toy Library in Waipukurau.

Since the re-launch we've seen 500+ toys make their way into the hands of dozens of appreciative children. To those that are yet to check us out, we're open Thursday's 10am to 12pm at our Waipukurau Hub (23 Northumberland Street, Waipukurau).

Thanks again Toy Library Federation of NZ and Lotteries, we appreciate you both!
