WHAT IS A TOY BUNDLE?

Toy bundles are curated sets of toys grouped by age and developmental interest.

Each bundle includes multiple toys that are cleaned, inspected, and ready to play.

You can also create your own bundle!

CLEAN & SAFE PROMISE

All toys are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and inspected after every return.

Only age-appropriate, high-quality toys are included.

Damaged or worn toys are removed immediately.

WHY LADYBUGS & CRICKETS WAS CREATED

Ladybugs & Crickets – Borrow & Play was created to help families and caregivers give children access to high-quality toys and learning activities without the high cost, waste, or clutter.

This toy library is designed to support:

• Families who want affordable, rotating play

• Grandparents who don’t want to store toys year-round

• Homeschool families looking to rotate learning toys

• Caregivers and childcare providers who value intentional play

More than anything, this business is about community. My goal isn’t just to create memberships, it’s to create a family-centered space where children can enjoy meaningful play and adults can feel supported, not overwhelmed.

Ladybugs & Crickets is built on care, cleanliness, and connection because every child deserves joyful play, and every family deserves options that make life a little easier.
