Riri’s Toy Swap Day | A Sustainable Play Event for Children

This Earth Day, extend your toy’s story, give it a second home.

Toys drop-off: 10-17 April

Toy Swap Day & Riri Bear’s Sustainability Story-telling Session: 18 April

An Earth Day Toy Swap at Riri’s Children Playloft

This Earth Day, we invite you to pause and reflect on a simple question —
what happens to toys after we stop playing with them?

Many toys are only loved for a short season, before being set aside —
even though they are still in good condition.

Over time, this adds to clutter at home, and waste that we often don’t see.

At Riri’s Children Playloft, we believe in a different way of play —
one that is slower, more intentional, and shared.

Through this simple toy swap, we hope to gently introduce children to sustainability —
where toys can be loved again, by another child, in another home.

How It Works

Toy Drop-Off Period: 10–17 April
Bring a gently-loved toy to Riri’s Children Playloft and receive a swap card for each toy.

You are also welcome to bless a toy away, if you prefer not to take another toy in return.

Toy Swap Day: 18 April (Saturday), 9am – 3pm

Return with your swap card to choose a toy
