Did you know you can rent toys? You can! Here are 5 reasons to rent toys instead of buying.
The toys ‘grow’ with your child. You won’t have to worry about whether your child will outgrow the toy in three months if you know you’re just renting it for a while anyway.
2. A boredom cure. Have you ever noticed how much less kids say “I’m bored!” if it was their birthday or christmas? New toys are fun and engaging and with toy renting you can continue that ‘new’ feeling regularly.
3. A great solution for ‘build it once’ toys. Many kids who like Legos and other building sets will only build a set one time before wanting to move on to the next one. Pley is the perfect solution for those builders because the service is designed to replace sets for you, so there’s less pressure to keep reusing the same one. In fact, Pley lets you swap toys an unlimited amount of times!
4. The ability to play with toys that are out of budget. If you pay for Pley monthly, the charge is $24.99 (or as low as $19.99 if you subscribe for 6 months at once). Yet, you can choose a toy set that is valued at $69.99.
5. Something to look forward to. People of all ages like getting fun mail, and a toy subscription gives you child something fun and exciting to look forward to in the mail.
I had several questions about Pley that I found answers to. I thought I’d include those in case you’re curious as well!
Are sets cleaned between rentals? Yes! They are sanitized without leaving any scents behind.
What if a piece is lost? Part of the pley guarantee covers regular loss of a piece here or there. However, they ask that you report the missing piece so they are aware.
Can I buy a set if my child falls in love with it? Yes!
What about shipping? The pley subscription cost includes free shipping to you and a prepaid shipping label so you can return the set by simply placing it in your mailbox.
What age or gender are the sets aimed at? They have sets that are designed for both genders and lots of ages! You can search their available toys by age (starting as low as ages 2-4) and going up to ages 12+.
Do your kids enjoy building toys? Would you consider doing a pley subscription as a Christmas gift instead of buying a set?
Hi there! I am Emily Evert, the owner of Emily Reviews. I am 28 and live in a small town in Michigan with my boyfriend Ryan and our two pugs. I have a large family and I adore my nieces and nephews. I love reading memoirs, and learning about child development and psychology. I love watching The Game of Thrones, Teen Mom, Sister Wives and Veep. I like listening to Jason Isbell, John Prine, and other alt-country or Americana music. I created Emily Reviews as a creative outlet to share my life and the products that I love with others.
What a superb idea!! I would definitely subscribe to this. My girls are 5 and 8 and new toys only get played with for a little while and then ate forgotten.
