Pass along your gently used PlanToys with PlayCycle!


What is PlanToys PlayCycle?

PlanToys PlayCycle involves passing on PlanToys items that your child has outgrown or no longer uses to other children who would enjoy playing with them. Because of our quality toys, every child who plays with them – benefits physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. PlayCycle is a wonderful way to support sustainable living and encourage sharing


How does PlayCycle impact the environment?

Minimizes Waste

According to a survey conducted by Huffington Post, on average, a child loses interest in a toy within just 36 days, but wooden toys can last up to 40 years! If we do the math, this means PlanToys items can be played with by at least 400 children in their lifetime if we are all willing to share.


Reduces Carbon Footprint

If we can extend the life of one PlanToys toy each year, we will help reduce 3.3 kg (28 km in driving distance) of CO2 emissions. 


Encourages Sustainable Play

Engaging in mindful play fosters sustainability. By nurturing and preserving your wooden toys, they can endure for generations, bringing joy to successive children who will cherish them as your family did.
