I was originally looking for a water table for James since the one I made doesn't have any legs. They had a huge range of toys for big and little kids. Even things like Bum.bos and play gyms for babies. You pay a yearly membership and then a rental fee for each toy you hire for a month.
When we walked into the yard, they had a few of the bigger toys outside and James walked right up to a car, sat in it and wouldn't get out. Looks like we were hiring the car! Then I found a water table that looked good, so we got that as well. Both for ten dollars (excluding the membership fee of twenty-five dollars), what a bargain!!!

What a score!! :) We used to have a toy library in my town growing up.. which my mum started actually.. it was great! Nothing like that here though. Lids has the same water table and is CRAZY for it!! :) I am sure James is loving it. And he looks very content in that car. Can't believe how big Patrick is getting!! Adorable boys.
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrific idea Fiona! Very affordable for all families and you don't get suck with toys that your kids grow out of. We'll defiantly be using the library again and may even donate some of our toys once the boys grow out of them. Thanks for your kind comments.
DeleteLove the toy library! Some of my best friends were because our mums joined the toy library over 30 years ago!! How warm does it look? Bloody Victoria.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a toy library! What a great idea!
