From Playdate to Play-great: Shared Toys, Shared Experiences, Shared Smiles
ShareParty is a non-profit initiative aimed at inspiring families to exchange toys, games & books, rather than purchase new ones. In an age of excess, we champion the strength of sharing, swapping, and embracing sustainable play. Our goal is simple: to cultivate strong community bonds and promote environmental consciousness while ensuring our children have access to an array of items that ignite their creativity. Come join this vibrant movement toward more connected and eco-friendly play!
Why Attend a ShareParty?
-
Sustainable Living
There are 3 billion toys purchased in the US every year. 90% of them are made from plastics, and 80% end up in landfills, incinerators or oceans. These toys are used for only 6 months on average before being discarded. By sharing toys, we reduce waste and promote a healthier planet.
-
Community Connection
Share Parties bring local families together, making toy swapping easy and fun, all while building strong, supportive networks.
-
Endless Discovery
Kids get to explore a world of toys without the need to constantly purchase new.
-
Zen
Reduce clutter in your home - imagine having just a few toys (that your kids actually play with) in your home at any given time. Your space can finally feel zen again.
How Does it Work?
Swap And Play
Attend a ShareParty event - Bring toys that your kids have outgrown and swap them for something new-to-them.
Celebrate
Enjoy your Share Party! After all, it's about more than just toys —it's about fostering community and sustainable play.

What's Happening?
If you're attending PLAYDAYs’ fun fall festivities, bring along some gently used toys to swap with other PLAYDAY CH Families courtesy of ShareParty. A neighborhood initiative (and longtime partner of PLAYDAY), it is a great way to extend the life of toys and have an extra special thing to bring home from the event.
*Note: Please ensure items are in good condition with no missing pieces. This is a one-for-one swapping event. Bring one, take one and have a bunch of fun!
