Kids, here’s your chance to refresh your toy collection and share the joy with others! Select up to ten toys that you don’t play with much anymore and are willing to part with. Bring them to Te Papa and take part in our exciting toy swap event these school holidays!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Choose up to ten toys in good, working condition that you’re ready to give away.

  2. Bring them to Te Papa on the day of the event.

  3. Swap your toys for tickets that you can use to pick out new-to-you toys from other kids.

  4. Don’t forget to bring a bag to carry your new treasures home!

Important Details:

  • All toys must be in 100% working condition and clean.

  • Any toys left at the end of the day will be donated to the Koha Shed in Wainuiomata, helping even more children enjoy the fun.

Come join us for a fun-filled day of giving and receiving at Te Papa!
