Get excited for the Children’s Clothing and Toy Swap!

Published: 4 March 2024

Residents can refresh their children’s wardrobe and toys for FREE at the upcoming Children’s Clothing and Toy Swap event.

Cardinia Shire Council has partnered with The Clothing Exchange, to provide an environmentally friendly way to help parents/guardians of children aged 3-8 years tackle how quickly they grow out of their clothes and toys.  

Parents/guardians simply need to bring up to 6 good-quality pre-washed items of clothing and/or 6 good-quality toys to the event.  

These are then traded in for tokens to use as ‘currency’ for other clothes and toys.  

Event details  

  • Date: Sunday 7 April
  • Time: 10am – 11:30am  
  • Location: Beaconsfield Community Complex (8 O’Neil Rd, Beaconsfield) 

Participants need to register for this event. To allow more children to attend the event, only one parent/guardian per family please.   

Cardinia Shire Mayor, Jack Kowarzik encourages the community to get involved.   

“This is a fun and thrifty way to give new life to clothes and toys that your children have outgrown.”  

“It is exciting to know that clothing and toys that otherwise may end up in landfill, will be enjoyed by other families”, Mayor Kowarzik said.
