Literally need a little boost to spread this far and wide. Can you help?

We run Swap&Play events to allow families to recirculate toys their kids have outgrown. And to have a great time! They’re free for all: they’re usually sponsored by local authorities.
In March and April we will be proposing a new format, in #Cork and #Dublin, for children with additional needs: Sensory Swap&Play. But we need to find funds.
Will you help us?
A donation of any size or simply sharing the #crowdfunding with your network will greatly help! 🫶🔁

Yasunobu Tsuruta crafted wooden toys with Koshiro Kido, who later died of cancer at 13. In memory of the boy, Tsuruta raises funds in aid of childhood cancer research. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/09/japan/society/pediatric-cancer-fundraising-wooden-toys/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #fukuoka #cancer #children #toys

I meant to post this amazing delivery from @ajroach42 & https://www.mountaintowntoys.com/ when I received it last week, so thanks to @derek for reminding me with this great thread!
https://social.coop/@derek/115888313020372319
I mean...that's a lot of awesomeness is a small package!
From a new "100 year old" Sky Pirates quartely, to toys made completely in house, to 2 #GameBoy color games made from their podcasts! I still can't oversell it, but I was speechless last week.
Oh yeah, you can play the games on computer, too!

Lego announces Smart Brick, the 'most significant evolution' in 50 years, no AI
#HackerNews #Lego #Smart #Brick #evolution #innovation #technology #toys
FREE GIVEAWAY TIME! A few months ago, I ran a giveaway for the original large yellow Mastodon plushie. I was thrilled with how that turned out, so have decided to do it again with the new smaller versions. If I can make someone smile, then I'm happy!
So here's the deal: If you're in the US, and want a pair of #free Mastocritters, please reply here. I'll give this two weeks, then randomly pick a name, and we'll plan delivery. Please boost for reach. Thanks! 🙂

Monster gift swap! #toys #christmas
Here's the final Xmas custom crochet toy I made this year. This is the second toy I have made for this little girl, who is an extremely talented young artist. Her designs are very clever 😊

Are there any serious vintage toy collectors on Mastodon?
Comic book shop or collectible store owners or such?
Looking to touch base. 🤘🤠

Old Rusty. I wonder how long it has been since a smiling laughing little kid sat behind Old Rusty's wheel?

Found in a dumpster. Sloppy Chinese assembly, some Celeron N series, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC on board. Windows is broken, but #devuan works just fine from an USB stick. Need to find a power connector and test it thoroughly.
If it had 8GB RAM at least and 17" display it would be a laptop of my dream.
