Toy Library
 

Image of coloured ballsPlay is a happy activity for children. It is also a child's work. When children play they gather information about the world around them. Play stimulates intellectual, emotional, social and physical development.
Toys are carefully chosen to stand up to a lot of use by young children. Care is also taken to ensure that toys are clean, complete and in good working order. Recommended Standards Association of Australia standards apply to them.
