Lize Marais, Owner and principal of Milkwood Learning Academy, recently opened Gordon’s Bay’s first toy library! Our team of dedicated and passionate volunteers look forward to welcome you at our toy library in Watt Street. Milkwood Toy Library offers a range of toys and games to play with at the library or to borrow and take home. We also offer various membership levels to the public to make play affordable to everyone.
Lize is a trained teacher and toy librarian with a passion for play and children.
All children have the right to play. We aim to provide affordable play opportunities.
By listening to our members, we provide the toys our members would like to play with.
“Toy libraries provide play resources to communities. This can be in the form of toys, games, play opportunities, and trained toy librarians who facilitate play and educate others on play and toys. Most toy libraries in South Africa provide play sessions at the library as well as a toy lending service to the greater community.”

Milkwood Toy Library stocks a variety of toys and games for young and old. Our toys range from basic building blocks to group games and even robotics. We also welcome input from members regarding which new toys to purchase as we build up our inventory. We have three membership levels with different benefits.
