Whitehorse Toy Swap

Are your children’s toys or unloved good quality clothing lying around gathering dust or have they simply outgrown them? Come along to the Whitehorse Toy Swap and exchange them for something 'new'! Toys and clothing must be in working condition and suitable for ages 2-8 years. Maximum of 6 toys per child. All genders are welcome. Please ensure all toys have all pieces secured.

Please note: All children must be supervised by an adult. To allow more children to attend the event, we request only one parent/guardian per family. Whatever toys you swap, please make sure your child is emotionally detached from the item, as once it has been swapped you cannot change your mind.

Time

• 10.30am to 11.30am is for drop off only.
• 11.30am to 12.30pm is your time to swap!

Eligibility

To participate you must drop toys off at the allocated time. For each item you drop off you will receive a token which can then be used to select another item. A maximum of six (6) toys per child will be accepted.

What toys will we accept?

• Toys, books and games in good quality condition

What will we not accept?

• Underwear, socks
• Costumes
• Other children equipment (baby seats, bassinets)
• Cloth nappies or disposable nappies
• Items with adult content
• Items with loose battery covers (batteries are a choking hazard)
• Items missing pieces (please try to secure or contain toys with multiple pieces)
• Broken, stained, smelly items

Please note that we have quality screening processes at our events. Any items left over after the event finishes are donated to a local charity.

This event is part of Whitehorse City Council's Sustainable Whitehorse program.
