The Toysaurus toy library works just like a regular library, except that you borrow toys instead of books! You will simply come to us, choose some toys and borrow them to take them home. You can always exchange toys for new ones and just watch how your children enjoy spending time with for the new toys and you don’t accumulate any at home. With Toysaurus, children can play with an unlimited number of real toys, acquire new skills and develop their creativity and imagination. Parents benefit from getting their children off the screens, saving money, reducing clutter and saving the environment as toys are recycled.
Just as you have to be a little more careful with the books you borrowed from the library, you have to take care of the toys, such as make sure you have all the toy parts, do not leave the toys outside in the rain or where they could be stolen, make sure your children did not abuse or break the toys intentionally, and finally clean and dry the toys before returning them. Please read our Library Rules document.
