About the Event
In Australia, 27 million toys end up in landfill annually, contributing to 6% of global plastic landfill waste.
Discover what happens to your toys when you are finished with them through hands-on, interactive experiences. We will explore the importance of sustainability and the joy of giving back to both the environment and our community.
- Explore Toys: Learn about toy lifespans and environmental impact.
- Bring Preloved Toys: Give them a second life and reduce waste.
- Hands-On: Clean, sort, and package toys for reuse.
- All participants will get to swap with others at the end of the session.
Don't miss this chance to play, learn, and swap. Let's make a difference together!
- Any toys, games, and books that are in good working condition and suitable for reuse (limited to one shopping bag of items).
- All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Simple rules to follow:
- Ask yourself: Is this item good enough for my friends or another child?
- Check that all battery-operated items (toys, games and books) are in working condition and replace their batteries when necessary (this is a safety issue)
- Battery-operated toys should have battery cases secured by screws or other means to prevent children from prying them open.
- We may refuse any items that are not in the desired condition, which you will need to take home with you.
