On Sunday 1 December, the Knox Toy Library came alive with laughter, learning, and plenty of play as we hosted our Community Fun Day. With over 200 people joining us, it was a celebration to remember!
🐾 Activities for Children
The day was packed with exciting activities that had children beaming with joy. Highlights included:
Myuna Farm Petting Zoo, where children enjoyed cuddling furry friends.
Face painting by Simply the Best, turning little faces into butterflies, superheroes, and more.
Potion-making station, Bubble Land, and outdoor activities that sparked creativity and exploration.
Delicious popcorn from Hire Melbourne Jukebox and a classic sausage sizzle, cooked to perfection by our amazing member volunteers and committee.
☕ Treats for Parents
Parents enjoyed their share of the fun too, especially with barista-quality coffee served by Coffee2U Knoxfield. It was a great chance to relax while the children played.
📚 Special Storytime Sessions
A big thank you to Melissa from Ferntree Gully Library, who enchanted children with her engaging storytime sessions. Her tales added a magical touch to the day and brought families together for some quiet, shared moments of imagination.
🎁 Toy Sale
We also held a toy sale, giving pre-loved toys a new lease on life in the homes of our members. It was a wonderful way to embrace sustainability and share the joy of play.
♻️ Sustainability Spotlight
We were delighted to welcome Anouk, Knox Council’s Waste Education Officer, who shared insightful tips on reducing waste and being more mindful of our environmental impact. Knox residents also received a fantastic reusable recycling bag—perfect for sorting recycling.
💛 Funds Raised
The event raised an impressive $800, which will go towards fulfilling member toy requests and providing much-needed office supplies for our volunteers.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and contributed to the success of our Community Fun Day. Your support helps us create a connected and vibrant community where children and families can thrive.
We can’t wait to see you at our next event!
