Save your sanity and the planet

We support caregivers in getting the toys needed to support new skill development while keeping clutter from piling up by sending off the previous set to a new home. Plus, our toys are enjoyed 5x longer than those that are purchased outright, reducing your environmental impact.

From real fams

"I can see Henry learning new skills every time we introduce a toy from our kit. The toys are beautiful and clearly well-made, so we enjoy having them in our home."

Greg is the proud dad of Henry in MA. Henry’s favorite toy is the Dancing Alligator!

"We were overwhelmed by the idea of a playroom full of toys, that only get used for a short period of time, and then sit and collect dust. Let alone, a playroom full of plastic. It is refreshing to find Tiny Earth Toys."

Laura is the proud mom of Grayson in NC. Grayson's favorite toy is the Rattle Tree!

"I love recommending Tiny Earth because we get so much value from the kits and it makes me happy to send them back and know other people will get to use them too."

Brit is the proud mom of Luca in NY. Luca's favorite toy is the Hammer Balls set.

We've got you covered! Here are some of the most common questions we receive.

FAQs

How often do I get toys and when am I billed?

You are billed monthly for your subscription. We offer free exchanges every 2 months. This gives your child the time to fully explore the toys and skills associated and reduces our carbon footprint from shipping.

How do exchanges work?

We offer free shipping and exchanges every 2 months to maximize your child’s learning and reduce our shipping impact. You will receive an email when your exchange is due detailing the toys you will receive. You have 3 days to make a modification to your exchange by either modifying the toy selection or delaying your exchange. Keep your current kit of toys until the new one arrives ensuring no downtime between toys. 

Each kit comes with a prepaid return shipping label, pre-cut packaging tape, and fill paper. We ask that you save the box and packaging materials your kit came in to reduce waste and drop it at your nearest FedEx. Feel free to break the box down and store it in a closet if space is tight or use another box that may be handy.

Can I buy the toys?

If you are a monthly subscriber and fall in love with a toy, you can purchase it when you exchange for 15% off the retail price. Unfortunately, we don’t sell our toys outside of our subscriptions.

Is there a trial or can I cancel anytime?

We know renting toys is a new concept. That’s why there are no hidden contracts and you can cancel at any time without penalty in your subscription account.

What if I want toys for multiple children?

First off, congrats! We offer 5, 8 or 10 toy membership options. Select the one that best suits your family.

When you checkout you have the option to give us the ages of multiple children and let us know any toy preferences. We will select a mix for each of your children.

How do you clean the toys?

We safety-inspect, clean and reseal every returned toy.

To clean we use Force of Nature. “Force of Nature is an EPA-registered disinfectant & sanitizer that kills 99.9% of germs*, even Staph, MRSA, Norovirus, Influenza A, Salmonella, and Listeria when used as directed. It’s on EPA’s list of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19.” It is made without the use of toxic chemicals, added fragrance, dyes, preservatives or surfactants.

When necessary, we reseal using pure beeswax.

Toys are then air-dried, carefully repackaged and shipped where they spend between 3 - 5 days in transit.

What if I lose a piece of a toy?

We do not charge for missing pieces or light damage. We just ask that if you find the missing piece, you send it back in your next exchange!

What happens to the toys after they are rented?

We attempt to keep toys in play as long as possible to minimize the environmental impact of overconsumption. We keep our gently pre-loved toys in use as long as they are safe and in good condition, after which we sell them at a discounted rate. If a toy is broken or in poor condition, we recycle the materials with a local recycling center.
