Children's clothes, toy and book swap

Join us for an exciting event of sustainable swapping and donating baby and kid’s items now that the post-Christmas rush is over. Bring quality clothes, books and toys that are suitable for children 0 to 8 years old and enjoy swapping them for new exciting ones.

How it works:

• Donations drop-off between 12:30 pm and 1 pm.
• Bring up to 6 clothing pieces AND 6 books or toys in the swap (12 items total). For each item you bring, you will receive a token which can be used to select another item. You are welcome to bring more than 12 items but you will receive 12 tokens maximum.
• Swap runs from 1 pm to 2 pm.

Guidelines:

Please note that there is a quality screening process for items accepted. Clothing and soft toys must be in excellent condition, meaning pre-washed and free from rips, holes, stains or major faults. All books and toys should be clean and in working order.

Items to bring:

• Baby and children's clothes suitable from birth (00000) - 8 years.
• Quality books, puzzles, dolls and other toys suitable for children under 8 years old.
• Battery operated toys must work and have batteries included.

Items NOT to bring:

• Underwear, socks and swimwear.
• Anything stained, torn, unclean or broken.
• Unwashed clothes or soft toys.
• Small parts that could be a choking hazard.

Leftover items will be donated to our local charity store the Salvation Army or Red Cross (TBC).

This event will be managed by The Clothing Exchange. You can read their general guidelines here.
