Kids & teens clothing, book and toy swap

Next date: Saturday, 29 November 2025 | 10:00 AM to 01:00 PM

What to expect

We're welcoming kids and young adults to bring their gently used books, toys and clothes (0-19 years) and exchange for new-to-you items!

What to bring

Clothes

Second-hand clothes, shoes, hats and accessories in good condition that you would be happy to wear. Please don't bring underwear or dirty or broken/torn items. 

Toys

1. Gently used: gently used toys are preferred. Items should be in good condition, free from significant wear and tear, and with all essential parts intact.
2. Cleanliness: please clean and sanitise your toys. This includes wiping surfaces, checking for dust, and ensuring that toys are free from any dirt or grime.
3. No broken or damaged items: broken or heavily damaged toys will not be accepted.
4. Working mechanisms: toys with mechanical or electronic components should be in working order. 
5. Complete Sets: bring complete sets of toys. If a toy originally came with specific accessories, pieces, or instructions, ask that these components be included for a more satisfying swapping experience.
6. Battery check: If applicable, check and replace batteries in battery-operated toys. 

How does this help reduce our climate emissions? Waste

By exchanging used clothes and toys and giving them a longer life, you will help to reduce the amount of clothing sent to landfill and contribute to our zero emissions goals.
