Bluestone Toy Library

We will be closing during the school holidays so the toy library team can do lots of work in the background...including purchasing and cataloguing new resources so keep an eye out for that announcement!

If you'd like to swap your loans before we close come along to next weeks session. If we don't see you next week we look forward to seeing you when we get back on Tuesday 6th October 😊.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our Dino Day Family Fun Day a ROARING success! It was beautiful to see so many little dinosaurs making excellent use of an unusually muddy Seelaf Square to cook up some prehistoric feasts in our mud kitchen; enjoying the dino art and craft; exploring their scientific side searching for dinosaur bones; and making fabulous dinosaur badges! We were rapt to catch up with so many of our regular visitors and meet a bunch of new locals too!

A dinosaur-sized shout out to our AMAZING VOLUNTEER team who cooked up and served over 200 halal sausages; painted kids' faces; worked on dino costumes; restocked the ball pits a million times; set up and packed down, and just generally brought the vibes! We love bringing the beautiful Angliss/Footscray community together to connect, play and get a bit creative. As always, so many great new friendships, conversations and opportunities to follow up on!
What should our next theme be...?🤔😍
