Don't forget to check out Freecycle for toys
Don't forget to check out your local Freecycle for giveaway toys.
We have just had the most fantastic result. All this was given to us by a generous Freecycler:
A beautiful rocking horse, soft plush body, wooden surround, horse sounds when you press his ear, saddle and everything. Immaculate condition.
A blow up ball pool complete with all balls - immaculate condition
5 bags of toddler toys - Fisher price, Leapfrog, early learning centre, all immaculate
1 mercedes sit and ride car - a bit muddy but otherwise immaculate
1 Little Tikes tricycle, with adult steering handle - immaculate
We are SO pleased, what a find! It's like Santa came early, I can't wait for the kids to come back after the holidays.......well almost :D

Re: Don't forget to check out Freecycle for toys
I agree it's brill - I got myself a playhouse for the garden, small, but kids love it! A little tykes cozy coupe car which I use indoors as it cleaned up so well, a barbie bike for my daughter, a JCB toy work bench which was in brill condition. Had a few tools missing, but we had tools just not the bench. All the children spend hours at this! A bag of boys toys such as cars, tractors etc A little tykes road Mountain road rail set which is immaculate and a load of Bob the bulider vehicles!
Have missed out on quite a few bargains too, but somethings are just so popular ( My little tykes car was the 2nd to be advertised in the space of a few weeks - I had missed out on the first and was gutted, so thrilled to get this!)
So highly recommend everyone joins! I have also started giving away things that I don't want - but that's not so much now I have decided to be a childminder - just when I thought I could get rid of my baby toys I have had to hang on to them!!! I did give a very grateful lady a huge bag of girls clothes though.

Re: Don't forget to check out Freecycle for toys
I think that is great and I am a member but never get any good bargains myself - think they have all gone by the time I get to check because I am usually here instead ha
Some one got a free dinning table and chairs from me last week though so they got a bargain

Re: Don't forget to check out Freecycle for toys
Ive just put a 'wanted' add on freecycle for a buggyboard, and five minutes ago i got offered one,the type you can sit on or stand on, how fab is that? I have given things away on this site but never received anything before, im collecting it tomorrow morning, Im chuffed to bits.
Re: Don't forget to check out Freecycle for toys
I love freecylce. I hate throwing things out especially when they are in great condition so before Xmas I had a huge clearout and managed to get rid of everything within 2 days. It was fab.
I also managed to aquire a pine and pink dressing table for my daughter which actually matches her wardrope and chest of drawers. It was almost new and she loves it.
Re: Don't forget to check out Freecycle for toys
