Shop and donate – double win!

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? If not then we can help and it doesn’t involve traipsing round busy stores blaring out Merry Xmas Everybodyon a loop. You can buy the toys with diff:ability that we love in the ToyLikeMe Amazon store. Plus our Toy Box tales images – including wheelie Superman, Olaf with a cochlear implant and limb difference Elsa  – are available on oodles of products at the ToyLIkeMe Redubble store. Pillow, duvet cover, clock, notebook, bag, T-shirt or poster? Why not all??

For every purchase you make through our Amazon and Redbubble links we earn a small commission that will go towards funding our work with disabled kids next year, meaning that you get to share the love without it costing any extra. Cue festive cheer all round!

Play Well at the Wellcome Collection

ToyLikeMe was thrilled to be asked to display at the Wellcome Collection’s Play Well exhibition in London. We’re very happy to be a part of the discussion around how play transforms childhood and society.

If you’re going to be in London then do come along. Play Well is open until 8th March 2020 and is free to enter.

And finally … a sneak peek at our plans for next year

There are loads of exciting things we’re firming up but here’s what we can announce at the moment:

• Hewett Academy’s career department in Norwich will host a new version of our See it Be it exhibition
• We’ll be on the road visiting schools in Norwich and York
• As last year we’ll be loud and proud at Norfolk Deaf Festival and Norfolk Disability Proud
• There are also plans afoot to exhibit in Barnsley.

We hope to have lots more to tell you soon.

Love and festive friendship,

Team ToyLikeMe.
