WELCOME TO THE

Mornington Toy Library

Over 1,000 toys in a huge range of categories.

For fees & toy options please see below.
Concession discounts, discounts for performing volunteer duties, and gift vouchers are all available.

Save Money

The cost of toys can add up over the year, especially with multiple children  Our service here at the Mornington Toy Library allows you to try toys before you buy, and therefore know what they like.

Reduce Clutter

Save space and get to access a range of toys without building up a room full of unused toys around the home whilst continuing to have access to a wide range of experiences for your children.

Meet Changing Needs

As your child grows & develop so do their needs. By offering greater learning experiences through exposure to a variety of toys, help to build on skills & allow your child to broaden interests & new themes.

Support the Environment

Reduce waste and teach a borrowing system from a young age. A great way to teach your child to only use what they need.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if I return my toys late?

We dont charge late fees, but request you return promptly, renew online or advise us via email mtoylib@gmail.com if there is a reason for your late return of toys. Toys may be renewed once only.

What should I do in regards to cleaning toys?

Please return all items you borrow clean and ready to be played with by the next family. This includes outdoor toys.

How do I know which Toys are best for my child?

All toys are labelled with a suggested age group, and some toys also have warnings about small pieces, laces etc. We encourage families to check that the toys they borrow are safe for their child.

What if I break a toy?

We understand that accidents happen, however if toys are broken members may need to pay a partial cost for a replacement.

Can I donate toys?

We can accept good quality toys that meet Australian Toy Safety Standards but we do not accept any fabric or soft toys.

Do I need to know anything about safety?

Parents and carers are responsible for looking after their children while at the toy library and that borrowed toys are always used safely.

Please note that it is the law in Victoria for all bike and scooter riders to wear a helmet when riding. When you borrow bikes and scooters from the toy library it is your responsibility to make sure that your child always wears a helmet when riding.

Do you offer gift memberships?

Yes! Feel free to get in touch with us by visiting us at the Toy Library or via email to discuss your needs and we’d be happy to help.
