Toy Library For Kids

Toy libraries now growing in the city to cater
to kid clients from toddlers to the time upto age 8 and hence their
parents are also happy to save money.
Affluent parents of the city had to spent minimum 3000 rupees
a month for two or three branded toys to meet up their children's
craves. And it is a known fact that kids always need new toys. Now as
the toy libraries are here in the city, parents sighing relief by
borrowing branded toys for their children for a minimum subscription.

Children can borrow up to
eight toys in a month from
these libraries in lieu of a
membership fee varying
between Rs 350 and Rs 800.
Once bored with these toys, they can exchange them for
new ones.

Apart from a
physical set up where children
can come and select toys,
these toy libraries also have an
online presence. The parents and kids can simply log on to
their website, choose toys and
order online.

Nutty Newton, Toyz World, Toy
Land are some such libraries
that started as a single outlet
and now have several branches
throughout the city.

The toy libraries are well
stocked to suit every child's
needs and imagination.
Starting from battery-
operated , music making dolls
and animals for toddlers to remote operated cars, puzzles,
educational toys that give kids
the basic knowledge of phonic
sounds, spellings and numbers
you even have the more
expensive ones like riders, bicycles, swings, activity
boards, interactive globes,
audio books and whatnot.

After the toys are returned,
they are thoroughly checked to
see if they are in proper shape.
Every toy goes through a
disinfecting process because
kids are easily susceptible to infections. They are then given
a "safe and hygienic" seal, so
that parents remain worry
free.
