- Swap: Browse through the available toys and pick out something new-to-you!
- Enjoy: Not only will you score some awesome new items, but you’ll also have fun meeting other local families.
This Toy Swap event is an amazing opportunity to contribute to a circular economy where items are reused, recycled, and repurposed, all while fostering a sense of community. Whether you’re looking to declutter your home or give your kids a chance to explore some fresh options, the Toy Swap is a perfect way to do it!
So, grab your little ones, pack up the toys, and head on down to the Randwick Sustainability Hub for a morning of fun, learning, and connecting with your neighbors. It’s a win for your wallet, a win for the environment, and a win for the community!
See you at the Toy Swap! 🌱🎉
