Welcome!

We’ve provided the families of Port Phillip with a sustainable way to play since 1986. We’re open in two locations—Middle Park and South Melbourne—and offer access to around 2500 toys. That’s a lot of play! Come and see our collection today!

Our philosophy

We believe that play is at the heart of learning and childhood development. So we give children the tools to learn through play across every developmental milestone.
