Borrowing Rights

Each member child can borrow 4 toys from the following categories:

2 white card toys (Activity, Baby, Construction, Discrimination & Expression) &

2 yellow card toys (Games, Music, Puzzles)

Only 1 green spot toy per child.

Green spot toys are the most popular and most frequently borrowed.

They will have a green spot on the card, bag or toy.

The number of member children is marked on the membership envelope.

Committee Members can borrow an extra green spot toy per child.

Missing pieces

If a piece is discovered to be missing when the toy is returned:

Ask the member to re-borrow the toy for another 2 weeks to give them a chance to locate the piece.

N.B.  Green spot toys can only be re-borrowed for one week.

Re-stamp the borrowing card to show the new due date.

Place a red coloured spot (sticker) on the member’s envelope labelled “Missing Piece Re-borrow”.

Write the toy number and date on the sticker.

Care of Toys

All toys must be returned in a clean condition.

Most toys can be washed with normal dishwashing liquid (e.g. use a toothbrush for corners).

Do not soak wooden toys or immerse baby toys in water, a hot damp cloth will do.

Construction sets can be soaked and left to drain overnight.

Ride-on toys must be brought inside overnight and not left in the hot sun.

Puzzles should be cleaned with a hot cloth and care taken with cardboard puzzles.

For board games, wipe the boards as well as cleaning the play pieces.
