The Stour Toy Library is the initiative of The Stour Health and

Wellbeing Partnership, a charity based in Shipston on Stour and

covers the surrounding area.

A toy library is a fantastic resource for families of pre-school aged children.

It works on a loan system in the same way as a book library.

The Stour Toy Library will serve families with children of three years and under.

Parents/carers benefit by borrowing a range of toys that support their child’s all round development for a minimum cost.

By introducing a range of toys parents/carers are supporting their child’s development.

Meeting other parent/carers at the Toy Library can be a great support to the adults who can enjoy a cup of tea and a chat.

Children benefit from toys that develop a range of skills including coordination/ social skills/ language/problem solving and observation.

Children learn through play and toy libraries facilitate learning.

Although many of the toys will be made of plastic the constant reuse of them will contribute in a small way, to lessening our carbon footprint.

There is an annual membership fee of £5.00. Please fill in the membership form
