Kid-Friendly Fridays: BabyPlays Toy Rental Program

No matter how hard you try, kids seem to accumulate a lot of stuff that is quickly outdated for their age or interests. There are lots of ways to try to keep “stuff” to a minimum but one new program brings an interesting idea to the kid frontier: BabyPlays Toy Rental Program.

You pick a plan, between 4-10 toys per month, and pay a fee (which to me sounds like a lot less than what it would cost to buy the toys new) and each month BabyPlays delivers a fresh batch of pint-sized entertainment to your door. You pick the toys and add them to a wishlist, much like a DVD by mail program if you’re familiar with those. You can keep the toys for a month or longer and there are no late fees. When you and your kiddo are ready for new toys, ship the last batch back and a new one will arrive within a few days.

It’s a great idea along the lines of sharing toys, buying used or borrowing from the library. For more information, and for answers to questions, visit BabyPlays online.
