Welcome to the Great Play, Toy Swap and Recycle Festival!

DE PASSAGE 11:00 until 17:00 Saturday 15 June 2024

Do you have a pile of outgrown toys and children’s clothing that you think deserve a second chance? Then you’ve come to the right place! Join us at our festival and exchange your items for “new” treasures that other families have contributed. Let’s work together to reduce our toy footprint and keep items circulating in the play chain longer.

What can you expect?

  • Swap up to 5 pieces (of each) of toys and children’s clothing and discover fantastic new items to take home.
  • Participate in our free creative workshops throughout the day, where we recycle, repair, and upcycle together. Unleash your creativity as we set new goals for our old belongings.

Admission: Free for everyone!

So, dust off those forgotten treasures from the attic, shrink your toy footprint, and join us for a day full of fun, creativity, and sustainability!

Workshops:

Repair Station Toys + Workshop Take Apart and Reassemble

Bring along any toys that are malfunctioning, not working anymore, or just need a bit of love. The people at Repair Café Jeltje breathe new life into almost discarded items through repair. Too often, we think an item is ready for the trash heap.

Would you like to learn more about repairing or are you just curious to see what your toys look like inside? Then join our workshop. Under the guidance of a handy father, we will take things apart and put them back together, learn how a battery works, and conduct other exciting experiments with toys.

Workshop on Saturday and Sunday between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. Register 15 minutes in advance, as spots are limited.

Repair Station Clothing + Making Stuffed Animals

Come fix the hole in your pants, cover that one stain with your own creation, a unique applique. Transform those old pants into a bag or make a stuffed animal out of your favorite sweater that no longer fits. This way, you can keep it with you forever! Together, we will recycle and repair with needle and thread. Never done it before? No problem, Marte will teach you!

Up- and Recycle Play Station

Do you really need toys to play? We don’t think so. You can play just as well with all those unnecessary items your parents are about to throw away. Cardboard tubes, cans, mandarin nets, and cardboard are all we need to bring our fantasy world to life. Will you help us build a huge marble run?
