Elfy Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi I work in a Foundation Stage Unit attached to a primary school. We have just been provided with some money to set up a toy library. I was wondering if their was anyone on here who runs one of these in their setting and could give me some information about how you organise it. How long do the children have the toys? what sort of toys does it include? Do you porvide guidnace with the toys as to how they could be used? What sort of records do you keep about whos got what? Thnkas in advance Elfy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 What age range are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 As far as I know at the moment it will be for the whole of the foundation stage (as apposed to just the nursery) so that would be 3-5 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I am guessing it would work along the lines of a library just taking up more room. I have never used one but have come across toys labelled "toy library" in village halls. I am surprised that no one else has answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hi Elfy Thought this may help. It's the national association of toy and leisure libraries. You can contact them I suppose if the info isn't on the site. I'm going to try and add a link to the website so I hope it works. http://www.natll.org.uk/ Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
