How cool! Toy Rentals :)

babyplays

I was watching TV when I saw a small news clip about this site. The site is a very netflix like service, where you can rent toys for a small period of time.  On one hand this is really nice, as one can introduce variety without breaking the bank.  On the other hand, we need to address a very common situation in this age group - “Falling in love with a toy and refusing to part with it.” I just hope that the business has thought of a contingency in this case.

Miti (my son) and I were thinking on these lines a couple of years ago, when he wanted all the cool toys which I just could not afford to buy. We of course thought more on NGO lines where we could run a free toy library based on donor inputs.

I just thought, wow how neat and about time too!

And for all you neat freaks out there, as per the TV promo, I believe every toy between uses is sanitized and shrinkwrapped in cellophane!
