Check out your local toy library

'We use a toy library'
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

Having three children under 5 means we have to keep an eye on what we spend. It's easy to waste money, as they grow out of clothes so quickly and, apart from a few favourites, get bored with their toys.

So I joined a toy library, which is attached to our community centre. It works just like a normal library - and has saved us a fortune.
