Get excited for the Children’s Clothing and Toy Swap!

Published: 17 March 2025

Residents can refresh their children’s wardrobe and toys for FREE at the upcoming Children’s Clothing and Toy Swap event.

Cardinia Shire Council has partnered with The Clothing Exchange, to provide an environmentally friendly way to help parents/guardians of children aged 3-8 years tackle how quickly they grow out of their clothes and toys.  

Parents/guardians simply need to bring up to 6 good-quality pre-washed items of clothing and/or 6 good-quality toys to the event.  

These are then traded in for tokens to use as ‘currency’ for other clothes and toys. 

Event details  

  • Date: Sunday 13 April 
  • Time: 10am – 12:00pm (midday)  
  • Doors open at 10am - 11am, swapping starts at 11am sharp 
  • Location: Pakenham Hall (6E Henry Street, Pakenham) 

Participants need to register for this event. To allow more children to attend the event, only one parent/guardian per family please.   

Cardinia Shire Mayor, Jack Kowarzik encourages the community to get involved.   

“What a fun and thrifty way to refresh your child’s wardrobe and toy box!” 

“It will also be nice to see your child’s clothing and toys enjoyed by other families, rather than ended up in landfill”, Mayor Kowarzik said.
