What do you do with the toys your kids no longer play with?
Donate?
Sell?
Toss out?
It’s a dilemma that all parents face at one time or another. The toy box is overflowing with stuff the kids haven’t played with for weeks or months! However, as soon as we try to remove the toy, a tantrum ensues. I still play with that!! We have to pick out battles. So why not make it easier on ourselves and our kids? Instead of overwhelming them with a bunch of toys that will be quickly forgotten, why not rent a toy? Yes, I said rent. Give it a try? Roll it around for thought. Save you money – YEAH! Let the kids have a new toy! YEAH! See double YEAH!
Top 5 Reasons We Parents Should Rent Toys for the Kids Instead of Buying!
- Saves you money. Who doesn’t like to save money? We all do! The average Pley member saves, are you ready for this? Over $800 a year. WOW!! The average family spends roughly $1,000 a year on toys for a child. Why not save some money and rent new toys?
- Over 400+ toys to pick from! WHAT?! That’s insane!! It’s like having a toy store at your fingertips – every kid’s dream. As your child grows, shouldn’t the toys too? Of course. They outgrow the tea set, the firetruck —okay, maybe not the firetruck. But toy fads come and go so quickly. They can still play with the latest and greatest, without breaking the bank and without fear of losing interest in the toy in a few days.
- Less mess at your house, because the toys don’t hang around taking up space! The toys are delivered to your door. Once the kids are done playing with them, they go back. No overflowing toy box stuffed with yet another outgrown toy! Simply pack up the toys, and they will be returned. This makes me a happy mom!
- Teach your child the value of the toy. See Pley is a learning tool also. This will help teach your child the importance of respecting toys. By taking care of the toy and returning it in the same condition as they received it. Treating a toy responsibly and sending it off to another child to play with.
- Environmentally friendly. We are all about reducing, reusing, and recycling. Right? What better way than renting a toy instead of buying it? Less environmental impact!!

I never thought of renting toys before. This is a pretty neat idea.
We love Pley too. It’s a big hit at our house. Both kids and parents love it.
