How much money do you spend on toys each year? What about each month? And how many of those toys are actually played with? We can imagine your collection of children’s toys are starting to outnumber everything else in your home. Are we right!?

As your little one grows and develops (before your eyes), so does their preference in toys – that’s why we’ve developed an easy to use toy library subscription service – the FIRST of its kind in Canada – to help reduce the amount of money you’re spending on new toys and to help reduce your never-ending toy clutter.

What is a toy library?

A toy library is exactly how it sounds, it’s a collection of toys (and other useful gear) that are loaned out for a specific period of time. Similar to how a library rents out books.

There are thousands of toy libraries across the globe, but The Play Société is one of a kind.

How does it work?

We’ve made the process super simple…because the last thing you need is another, tireless task. All you have to do is login to your account on The Play Société, select your toys and wait for them to be delivered right to your door. Once you’re done with them, we pick them up and provide you with the next set you’ve requested. Easy as that!

Why is play so important?

Not all play is equal (think screen time). We’re here to help you and your little one get back to basics with simple play – having fun with toys you can touch, hold and move. The importance of simple play for child development (cognitive, physical, social, and emotional) is so critical, that it has been recognized by the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights as a right of every child. It’s not only important for children, but for you too, as it allows for engagement between you and your little one.

But wait, how many kids have used these toys before?

Worried about germs? Don’t be, we have you covered. These toys are cleaner than the toys you own! Each item in our inventory is meticulously cleaned, sanitized, and inspected before delivery. We use a chemical-free steam cleaner, which removes dirt and stains while killing 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, pathogens, and other undesirables. For any items that can’t be steam cleaned, we have a full line-up of effective, child-safe products to get the job done.

Doesn’t this sound easier on your bank account and space? We can’t wait for you to join us at The Play Société. As parents, we can completely relate to what you’re going through and we’re on a mission to make your first few years of parenthood easier, and a whole lot more fun. Playtime shouldn’t be a stress!

 

P.S. – Did you know up to 90% of toys are made of plastic, and many are not recyclable! Shocking, right? Instead of buying new toys, reduce your carbon footprint by joining The Play Société. Less consumption = less waste!
