Swapping is a clever and thrifty way to update your child's toys without hitting the shops. It saves you pennies and the planet too!

Eligibility

This event is suitable for children ages 2 to 8 years.

To participate you must drop toys off. For each item you drop off you will receive a token which can then be used to select another item. A maximum of six items per person will be accepted.

Please note: the toy drop off starts at 10.00am and the toy swap starts at 10.30am.

What we accept

We will only accept items that are:

• clean and undamaged

The best items to swap are good quality toys that were once loved but are no longer favourites. This way, you’re giving them a second life with someone new who will treasure them.

Whatever you swap, please make sure you are emotionally detached from the item, as once it has been swapped you cannot change your mind.

What we don't accept

We will not accept:

• items that are dirty, stained or in poor condition

• items in bulk

Please note: we have quality screening processes at our events.

Are your children's toys lying around gathering dust or have they simply outgrown them, or do they have clothes that no longer fit them? Come along to the Cardinia Children's Toy & Clothes Swap and exchange them for something 'new'!
