THE TINY TOY CO. STORY

Tiny Toy Co. is the brainchild of teacher-librarian and environmental educator, Rebecca Saha. With over 20 years of experience teaching young children, she understands that powerful learning is sparked when hands and brains meet play and inquiry. Our open-ended, brain-building activities are designed to do just that.

Explore our full range of hands-on, upcycled learning activities. Ask about our volunteer opportunities, after-school workshops, and professional development sessions for educators interested in learning how to use upcycled, loose parts in K-5 classrooms.

Upcycling

Upcycling is the creative reuse of objects in new applications, for purposes beyond their original ones. True upcycling actually adds value to an object. By caring for, repairing, swapping, donating, and upcycling toys, we can make a big  dent in the world's toy waste problem, as well as learning some amazing things on the way.

Testimonials

I love buying toys and games secondhand, but they always seem to be missing pieces. It's AMAZING that you put them back together. You're like the Humpty Dumpty store. This is a fantastic idea!

Alex R.

Thank you for the personal note! I'm always so glad to support you in upcycling toys that otherwise may get considered junk, and for all the amazing creative ways you come up with to repurpose them for play-based learning. We're a homeschool family and have already done a lot of early literacy & numeracy with things we've gotten from you. I'm also a children's librarian by training...so I know how much creativity, skill, and knowledge goes into those ideas. Last year's trick-or-treat favours were a huge hit in the neighbourhood, too!

I love the way you put things together thematically! My kids still love the dinosaur book, jigsaw puzzle, and toy triceratops that we got from you. They're together on the science shelf this month in our homeschool room.
