The Big Toy Swap with dirtgirl and Costa

The Big Toy Swap is back and this year, dirtgirl and Costa the Garden Gnome are joining in the fun.

This free, family-friendly event invites families to pass on gently used toys, books or games and discover something new-to-you in return. It’s a fun and free way to refresh the toy box – while teaching kids the value of reuse and reducing waste.

Join in the toy swap and catch dirtgirl and Costa in action, as they present two interactive sessions for kids throughout the day; Eco Action (for kids aged eight and up) and Nature Voices (for kids up to eight).

The morning session is suitable for kids aged 8–14, and the afternoon session is suitable for kids aged up to 8.

Presented by Zero Waste Victoria and Fed Square, as part of RESET – a free festival for greener living.

Register online (free) to participate.
