Brooklyn's treasure chest for little explorers
"Nau mai, haere mai to the Brooklyn Toy Library!
Discover a treasure trove of toys for tamariki that's kind to both your wallet and the planet.
Drop by the Vogelmorn Bowling Club during our opening hours to have a play.
Tamariki can bounce on the trampoline and play with our outdoor toys.
While you're here, you can sit back with a coffee and kai from our friends at the VBC Cafe.
Donate toys
We welcome donations of excellent quality toys that will delight our tamariki!
We're looking for toys that are:
– Perfect for ages 0-7 years
– In excellent condition with no missing parts
– Easy to clean and built to last
– No soft toys
Before dropping off your donation, please email us a photo and brief description. This helps us ensure your generous gift is a perfect fit for our collection."

"The Toy Library Federation of NZ is the national body to which individual toy libraries belong.
"We act as a support to new and existing non-profit toy libraries; offering information and support on all aspects of running a toy library, toy selection and the value of play.
"Toy Libraries offer a range of quality toys, puzzles, games and learning activities for members to hire for a set period of time. In NZ our toy libraries mainly cater for children 0-8 years. Many libraries stock #games, #puzzles, #sport, #musical and other play items suitable for the entire family.
"Toy Libraries are a non-profit community service run by voluntary committee, for the benefit of children in your community."
