Why a toy library?

A toy library is where a member can rent toys for their children and return it once the use is over.

Many people wonder why should there be a toy library.
One of the primary reasons we believe is that toys have a very short shelf life, especially for infants and toddlers. The interest the child shows for a particular toy is for a very short period. They need to be exposed to new things all the time, and they love to experience new shapes, colours and sizes. As a parent we would want to provide them with whatever they find interest in. But in the end we end up spending a lot and our cupboards and floors are all filled with toys.

By being a member of a toy library, one can avail the benefits of renting quality toys and books every time they visit. This helps in keeping the children occupied with something new every time and also learn new things. A toy library seeks to solve many common issues such as helping in saving space at home, providing good quality and safe toys, reducing on the monthly expenditure on toys, satisfying a child's requirement by getting toys that he or she likes. It is also contributing to the environment in a small way by reusing the toys.

At Toyshare, each toy is classified according to the eight intelligences of a child's personality. Most of the toys are educational, musical, do it yourself, roleplays, etc which gives the child an opportunity to explore and learn. This helps the parent in picking up the kind of toy that appeals to the childs interest.
