Transforming into early childhood education
Retoy is leveling up the fun!
We’re developing our Retoy preschool concept through a transformative co-creation process. Soon, even more kids can explore their rights and revel in eco-conscious play during their crucial early years.
We unite fun learning, children’s rights, and sustainable living in a safe, non-toxic environment.
Excitingly, our eco-friendly and popular play initiatives are getting upgraded and ready to expand in our new Retoy format. Our popular swap-and-educate Retoy labs will be back soon. Keep an eye out for more news!

How it all started
Since 2011, Retoy has engaged over half a million children through toy swaps, exhibitions, and non-toxic play areas. The swapped toys have saved the world over 300 tonnes of CO2 emissions compared to buying new toys. ♥
Retoy primarily operated in Sweden but also co-created pop-up activities in collaboration with the Swedish Institute and embassies in the US, China, and Macedonia.
Across these locations, the Retoy method was met with overwhelming enthusiasm and curiosity from hundreds of children.
Participants were eager to explore opportunities to play their way to a better world by practicing circularity in a way that empowers children’s rights.
