Welcome to child@play 
Caloundra’s own educational and creative toy store.
Toys to Nurture, Play with Purpose
Opened in April 2008 the shop aims to provide a broad range of quality and unique toys and affordable gifts that enhance the creative play and education of children from birth to ten years of age.
The shop is owned by sisters Allysa and Lynelle, both experienced teachers and mothers of young children. This background enables them to give professional advice when it comes to selecting a toy or gift that will suit your child’s needs and developmental level.
