This event, as the Cork one on March 29th, was strongly requested by our community, as shown by our successful crowdfunding campaign. You can still support us with a donation when getting your tickets, if you'd like.We have been organising Swap&Play events for over a year and a half, creating spaces where families from all walks of life come together, while contributing to climate action and social justice. With Sensory Swap&Play, we introduce a new format: an inclusive time and space for children with additional needs.It keeps most of what makes every Swap&Play a wonderful place to hang out with family: pre-loved toys to swap, a safe play area, and many lovely families gathering together. What's different?Limited capacity: despite a spacious venue, we are welcoming only 150 people this time – less noise and a calmer space for those who need it most.No music and soft lighting, to accomodate the needs of all children.Our signature Eco-Crafting Stations will be replaced by the Sensory Station and the Chill Zone (more details below)Join us at Kilnamanagh Family Recreation Centre, in Dublin 24, on April 12th (2PM - 4PM). Due to the reduced capacity, please make sure to book your tickets (one per family member) before they're gone. Can't make it? Cancel your tickets and free up your spot(s) for another family.The event is open to all The Toy Library members, a community of conscious families, proud parents, and happy children taking action for their future by recirculating toys instead of buying new ones.
