Our Story

for the love of Play and Planet . . .

Hi there!

 

As a mom of two boys, I know the struggle of buying toys that lose their appeal quickly. Despite spending thousands, I often face the dreaded "Can I buy a new toy?" with each shopping trip. The rising cost of living makes it hard to afford the toys my kids need, and it pains me to say no. Realizing that Australia sends over 26 million toys to landfills annually, I knew there had to be a better way. That's why I created Toy on the Shelf (TOTS)—a monthly subscription offering over 200 toys a year, keeping kids engaged while reducing waste.

Our Mission

At TOTS, we believe in the power of play. Toys are not just for entertainment; they are vital for stimulating creativity, enhancing cognitive skills, and supporting overall development. At TOTS, it is our mission to make playtime affordable, enriching, and environmentally friendly.
