Let’s walk through further to check out the benefits and how these toy libraries can act as a blessing in disguise.
1. Toy libraries -Prevents a large amount of ocean pollution
Children don’t tend to play with a single toy for a very long time. They easily get bored of it and the toys only act as a waste for them. Most of these toys are made from plastics and when these are thrown away then they can cause a large amount of ocean pollution. Plastics are not very easy to decompose and even generate great global greenhouse gases. These toy libraries are a great way that we can put a mark on the generation of this waste.
2. Budget-friendly alternative
Toy libraries are a great way to save money. As the children grow old they don’t feel like playing with the toys anymore. So, if you have grabbed various toys for them then it is a sheer wastage of money. When you take your children to the toy library then they get the opportunity to play with various varieties of toys every time they visit the library. This gives them a new sense of joy and even keeps them away from boredom. So, you can save a lot of money in this way.
3. Save a lot of space
With the assistance of toy libraries, you can save a lot of space in your home. In the cities, people usually don’t have very big spaces. And even in that space if there are a lot of toys scattered here and there then they can cause a great problem for living. Thanks to the toy libraries that now you don’t need any specific dedicated place in your home to keep the toys. Besides that, it will even help you to declutter unwanted toys from your home and enjoy a spacious and clean surrounding.
4. Toy libraries :Great place to exchange social knowledge
It is very hard for the children to socialize in the cities as they have always remained engrossed among themselves from very initial days. These toy libraries allow the children to interact with their peers and socialize. Playing in the toy libraries helps them to enhance their socializing capabilities so that they can be more confident and fluent with others in the future.
5. Great opportunity for parents to learn
When parents take their children to the toy libraries then it is not only a great opportunity for the children to socialize but it is also a great opportunity for parents to learn. They can learn about the different developmental stages their children undergo and how they can address their children with these phases. Parents get an opportunity to enhance their parental network via these toy libraries that can help them in the long run.

I had never heard of a toy library. I guess it’s a good way to.give children a variety of experiences through the best of toys.
Toy libraries is a wonderful way for kids to explore different toys. And it is definitely a pocket friendly option for parents.
I had learn the concept of toy libraries two years ago, when I was in Nagpur. in fact, I had visited many times there with my girls and had a great experience. indeed, toy libraries are boon for sustainable development and also offer a great socializing opportunity too.
Now that you bring the topic up , I think it is a great concept. Toys are expensive and the child outgrows them soon , so it makes sense to pool and make a library for toys too.
Toy library is a beautiful concept that is also the need of the hour. I am so glad you decided to spread awareness around them.
Toys libraries are great not only in terms of saving money and space but also good to mother earth. Toy rotation in an other hand is also a beneficial to sustainability. We resorted to quite a vfwe hand me downs
wow this is an interesting concept. saves money, space, and keeps their interest high. we also donate the toys to younger kids and they do the same as we have so many toys given as gifts.
Yes, creating toys libraries is a great idea, even I believe so. This way we can inculcate responsibility, sharing and also newness in child life. While child learn new things each time with toys. But with this pandemic, I think this idea will take time to execute.
I too strongly believe and agree that toy libraries are the perfect way to get toys for kids and live a sustainable life. No over spending and yet get good and quality toys.
