A Whole New Way To Play

Choose a playroom that reflects your family’s values and embrace the end of clutter, boredom, unnecessary waste and expense. Refresh playtime as often as you’d like with a curated library of over 600 toys, too lovely to put away.

 

How it works

 

Sign up

We offer three membership tiers, each allowing you to borrow up to five items from our catalogue for up to four weeks and exchange every three weeks.

1-month membership: $55/month
3-month membership: $50/month
6-month membership: $45/month

A box of toys can be worth over $350!

Order & Pick up

A toy library works exactly how you might think. Members begin by reserving five items from our catalogue, which is geared towards children aged six months to five years old.

A box is lovingly cleaned and packed for pick up at one of our four Calgary home-based locations: Braeside, West Springs, Varsity and Thorncliffe.

Play & Pack Up

When it’s time to refresh playtime, members pack up their items for another child to enjoy, and exchange them for whatever catches their eye.

Who We Are

Calgary Toy Library was founded by four young moms who dreamed of beautiful, eco-sustainable playrooms with toys that our children would cherish long after they were outgrown.

Sharing toys and gear meant that our budgets were free to invest in experiences, and our playrooms remained clutter-free and filled with toys that made memories, not waste.

Most importantly, the community sparked by and through our borrowing made us mindful of our consumption; a value we were proud to pass along to our children.
