Toys needed for toy swap cupboard at Kentish Town library

[Deblu]

Hi all
we are starting a magical Narnia themed toy swap cupboard at Kentish town library. The idea is that kids get to take a toy to swap. Or parents and carers.! we will fill the pressure at Christmas to buy our kids new toys so how about we get swapping then we all get toys for free. Good for our wallets, good for the planet. Any specs you have please drop off at Kentish Town library the librarians will be expecting this! Thanks ps we are launching one at Swiss Cottage lib later this month too!

What kind of toy age range would work best?

Hi, toys for any range group would be so welcome! Thank you v much.

Bumping this thread.
Such a lovely idea. If my children were still young, I’d be dropping toys off. I do hope you get lots of donations x

Here’s a pic of the magical toy swap cupboard in the kids library at Kentish Town. Beautiful isn’t it? We just need toys to get it going… we are launching a toy swap shelf at Swiss Cottage kids library next week. I think it’s so important to teach the kids the value of sharing and swapping. we don’t need to buy toys when we can swap them for free.!!
any toys you have will be so grateful if you could drop them at Ken Town library or Swiss Cottage library

Looks gorgeous!

That looks amazing 😊
Fabulous idea.

Maybe any people working / volunteering in charity shops locally, could donate any nice toys for this too?
