Clever Tots Toy Club

Clever Tots Toy Club is your monthly toy rental subscription of sustainable, high quality children's toys to assist their learning and development through play. From newborn to 36 months. Based in Cork, we offer free delivery and returns within the Republic of Ireland.

Created by husband-and-wife team Jenel and Didier, the concept of introducing a regular ‘toys for hire’ business came about after their son Orlando was born while the family were working abroad in Dubai. Realising just how expensive infant toys can be and the speed at which children can become bored of them, the couple searched for a more sustainable alternative. Discovering a toy rental service was a welcome solution which Orlando really enjoyed. New toys would arrive every month to help keep him stimulated and support him in meeting his developmental milestones.

Returning to Jenel’s home county of Cork in late 2020 on foot of the worldwide pandemic, the two resourceful parents missed the excitement surrounding their monthly delivery of toys and so set about forming their own Irish subscription service.

With a sense of personal responsibility to contribute to helping the environment for future generations to enjoy, Clever Tots Toy Club has sustainability at its core. The membership service consciously selects from a range of eco-friendly wooden toys and those made from recycled plastics, for little hands to explore.

The power of play cannot be under-estimated when it comes to young children. The Clever Tots Toy Club seeks to support parents in engaging in play that will help develop their child’s cognitive, emotional, physical and communication ability. All the toys provided through Clever Tots Toy Club have been selected from high quality, eco-friendly brands by Ollwyn Moran, Paediatric Neuro-developmental Expert and founder of Cognikids.
