This December & January we’re hosting a Toy Swap in our Hub in Cascades Shopping Centre. 

Children can bring along an outgrown toy and swap it for a new-to-them toy.

Sharing and reusing can be just as magical as getting something new, and by swapping you can reduce waste and have fun!

You’ll find the hub next to Sports Direct, and they’re open Weds, Fri & Sat 10 – 1 & Thurs 1 – 4 (please note we’re closed between Christmas & New Year).  The Toy Swap will continue into January and remember that Connors Toy Library is around all year long for swapping toys.

We hope to see you soon.

NOTES:

What toys are suitable for the Toy Swap?
We welcome games, puzzles, books, costumes, construction toys, boxed sets like Lego, Duplo, Playmobil, Happy Land and Sylvanian Families, wooden toys, dinosaurs or superhero models, dolls and accessories, baby toys. Sorry but we can’t use soft toys, CDs, DVDs, toy weapons, bikes, scooters, ride-ons, used craft sets or paints, clothes or baby equipment. We also can’t accept anything broken, dirty or unsafe. 

All items brought in, will be checked before being added onto the shelves for the next children that come by.
