Toy Library for Christmas?!
It's coming to that time of year that parents dread - what to get your children for Christmas? Something they're going to play with until next Christmas and doesn't take up half the house! Yeah, right!
What if there was an opportunity to spend only $75 and know that when the toy was not being played with, it could be taking up space somewhere else! Brooklyn Toy Library has been helping parents achieve this for over 30 years. Membership starts at $45 for 6 months or $75 for 12 months - per family!
And we have a vast array of toys aimed at children 0-7 years for whom playing is the most important way of learning. Toys can be borrowed for 2 weeks and then swapped for different ones. There are no hire charges. Kids love the variety and parents love the money and space they save!
Join before the Christmas holiday break and you'll get two free holiday hires. If you're already a member, recommend a friend and you'll both get two free holiday hires! Check out our website for further information.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
