Port Melbourne Toy Library

Little ones always want to help with the chores — so let them go for it through pretend play!
Borrow pretend cleaning toys from Port Melbourne Toy Library and let them sweep, mop, vacuum and tidy just like the grown-ups.

Today is International Day of Play — a reminder that play is every child's right.

Play is important because it helps children learn about the world, build confidence, develop imagination, practise problem-solving, strengthen motor skills and connect with others. It also supports emotional wellbeing by giving children a safe way to express themselves, explore ideas and feel joy.

At Port Melbourne Toy Library, our mission is to create a welcoming space where local families can easily access quality toys.

Together, we can help protect every child's right to play.

This World Environment Day, we're celebrating a more sustainable way to play.
Kids grow, change and discover new interests quickly.
In fact, children can lose interest in toys within just 36 days, and around 51% of toys end up in landfill in less than a year.
That's why toy libraries matter.
At Port Melbourne Toy Library, toys are shared, borrowed, returned and loved by many families.

Closed Saturday 6 June
Port Melbourne Toy Library will be closed this Saturday for the King's Birthday long weekend.
There will be no borrowing or returns during this session.
Enjoy the long weekend, and we'll see you next time!
