Bunbury Regional Toy Library
Welcome
The Bunbury Regional Toy Library has been facilitating countless hours of play for children and families in the local community for over 30 years.
We are a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organisation, offering local families access to a wide range of fun and educational toys for a small annual fee. We are based at the Eaton Family Centre.
We operate similar to a library, however instead of borrowing books, our members borrow toys
Each member family can borrow 5 toys at a time, for a 1 child family every 2-3 weeks. This allowance increases to 8 toys for an aditional $5 for families with 2+ children.
Our catalogue caters for children or developmental stages 0 to 8 years and includes:
- Imagination toys – dolls with prams and or doll houses, play kitchens, doctor kits, animals, vehicles
- Construction: Wooden blocks, magnetic blocks, lego
- Educational & STEM toys
- Activity Centres
- Outdoor & water play toys – slides, climbing frames
- Musical toys & instruments – ukuleles, microphones, xylophones, shakers and more!
