During the month of August and September, the South toy library location will be holding a BOOK swap for members. Bring in any books your kids have outgrown and find something they will like now! We have some new faces around here, so we wanted to say welcome! We are a MN non profit that gives families an eco friendly option to provide their children with toys young children need for a healthy development, while saving saving families money and being kind to the Earth. Have you heard of the company @greentoysinc? They are based out of California and they create all their toys our of recycled milk jugs! They have recycled about 126 million milk jugs to make their toys. Wow! No batteries needed, just your child's imagination. Check out the new toys fro TLC Toys Inc.! A volunteer run, Minnesota based toy maker. We'd like to introduce you to TLC Toys Inc., a Minnesota based organization. It all started in 1989 when a gentleman named Mel Hartman made wooden toy trucks for his grandsons. Others liked them so much that Mel made more. With the desire for more trucks he realized he needed help. He enlisted the help of other skilled folks and production took off. They partnered with organizations to give the toys to children for free. They gained more and more volunteers and in 1991 became a registered non profit. Today they make 20,000 vehicles annually with the help of so many generous volunteers. NE open today with lots of new toys! Come check us out: 2600 Johnson St NE Thank you to those that have donated toys recently! We have received some fun ones. This one goes on our puzzle shelf this week. 🧩Always love having more diverse representations of children. #children #childrenatplay #puzzles #diversepuzzles #toylibrary #secondhandtoys #donatetoys Instill a bit of kindness in your summer. We can't get enough of the wonderful resources @doinggoodtogether provides for families. Books, printable resources, suggested activities, it goes on and on. Follow them and sign up for their newsletter, you will be happy you did. A new donation just in - a handmade sensory table! Perfect for water, shaving cream (you should give it a try if you haven’t done so), and any other messy activity. #watertable #sensorytable #messyplayideas #summerplay
