Carindale Toy Library

Today our super secretary Dipti co-hosted a stall with other toy libraries. If you have a community event that would benefit from having a Carindale Toy Library stall present, please let us know!

So great to join together with Carindale Toy Library and Play Matters Toy Library & Therapy Centre for the Cost of Living Expo hosted by Julie-Ann Campbell MP https://www.facebook.com/share/1CjjEXwmpb/?mibextid=wwXIfr.

Utilising a Toy Library is one of many ways you can fight the cost of living and save yourself money.

NEW TOY ALERT! Yes we know it’s Winter but a sunny Queensland Winter means waterplay is possible! We have two of these Rushing River Falls sets thanks to the Queensland Government’s Community Gambling Benefit Fund Grant. If you have more than one child this clever design allows for play at different heights and on both sides of the waterfall. You can even attach your hose! One of these sets is already out on loan, and the other is waiting for some fun to be had with it.

This Fat Brain brand toy is fantastic for learning colours, working on pattern recognition and developing fine motor skills. Borrow Bugzzle at our next open day - Saturday 20th June!

Bugzzle was purchased with a grant from the Queensland Government’s Community Gambling Benefit Fund.

What’s better than TWO new rollercoasters? FOUR new rollercoasters of course!! Check out the Downhill Thrills Kids Coasters! These are a great toy to loan for families who have smaller spaces or smaller cars for transporting toys in. Kids aged 2-5 and under 22.5kg will have hours of fun with these! Available to borrow from 6th June, provided our junior toy testers will give them up! 🥹🙈

Thanks to the Queensland Government’s Community Gambling Benefit Fund for enabling us to buy these Downhill Thrills Kids Coasters - expensive but so worth it for our member families to have access to them. ♥️
