Inside, your child can discover a variety of toys, such as sensory toys, open-ended play materials, wooden toys, and engaging board games that support emotional intelligence and create meaningful moments of connection.

All your questions answered

What's included in the Lil' Parents Guide?

The Lil' Parents Guide is a thoughtfully designed booklet for parents that comes with every PlayKit. It explains how to use each toy and highlights the developmental benefits behind the play. You'll also find simple play ideas to spark curiosity and support learning at home. Each guide includes: a vocabulary section linked to the PlayKit theme, to gently enrich your child's language, a small, playful challenge, a hands-on craft activity, suggestions for outings in the Netherlands to explore the theme beyond the home. It's a true companion for parents throughout your PlayKit rental.

What are the benefits compared to buying new toys?

Toy rental offers meaningful advantages over buying new toys. It's more cost-effective, keeps play fresh and exciting, and helps avoid toy clutter at home. This approach also supports sustainability by reducing waste and overproduction. Regular toy rotation nurtures your child's natural curiosity and love of discovery, while ensuring they're always playing with toys that truly match their current stage of development.

What safety standards do the toys meet?

I created Lil' Discoveries as a thoughtful alternative to peer-to-peer resale platforms. A centrally managed service allows for much higher quality control and a better overall experience for families. All Lil' Discoveries toys are purchased brand new, directly from toy manufacturers and distributors—just like traditional stores do. I carefully select toys that comply with European safety standards, among the highest in the world. I prioritize brands known for creating durable, sturdy toys designed to last over time.

What age range is the toy subscription for?

The subscription is designed for children aged 2 to 6 years (inclusive). Every two months, your child discovers a new theme. I guarantee that your child will never receive the same toy twice.

Can I subscribe for more than one child?

Yes. Each child will receive a PlayKit tailored to their own developmental stage. You can easily manage multiple subscriptions from the same customer account.

Am I committed to a long-term subscription?

No. Freedom to choose, explore, and even change your mind is a core value for me. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time, as long as you do so at least 5 days before your next payment date. Only the current, already-paid period is due and non-refundable.

What happens if my child breaks or damages a toy?

As a Mom myself, I know that even with respectful children, accidents happen. A piece can break or get lost—and that's okay. You simply need to report the damaged or missing item in your customer account, and return the damaged toys along with the rest of the PlayKit.

How are the toys cleaned?

Every returned toy goes through a careful and thorough cleaning process. Each item is inspected and checked individually. Fabric toys are machine-washed with hypoallergenic detergent and air-dried. Other toys are cleaned with warm soapy water, following manufacturers' recommendations. This ensures toys are safe for little mouths—without any chemical residue concerns.

What is the minimum rental period for a PlayKit?

The minimum rental period is 2 months. This gives children enough time to truly explore the toys and enjoy them in different play situations. There's no maximum rental period—you can keep your PlayKit for as long as it continues to serve your child's learning and curiosity.

How long can I keep my PlayKit?

As long as you like. There's no fixed return date and no pressure. You send the PlayKit back when your child has gained the skills the toys support and feels ready for a new adventure.

How do I return or swap my PlayKit?

You can request a return or swap directly from your customer account. You'll receive a return label by email—just print it and drop the box at a PostNL location or hand it to your mail carrier. Please reuse the original shipping box. To make returns easy, photos of every PlayKit item are included in the Lil' Parents Guide.

Do I need to reuse the shipping box?

Yes. Reusing the box helps make the rental process more sustainable. And our shipping boxes are high quality and designed to protect PlayKit toys properly.

When will I be charged?

You'll be charged when you first subscribe, and then automatically every month on the anniversary date of your subscription.

What delivery method is used?

We ship exclusively with PostNL, chosen for its reliability and professionalism—so your PlayKit arrives as smoothly as possible.

Where does Lil' Discoveries deliver?

You can subscribe to Lil' Discoveries if you live in the Netherlands (excluding the Caribbean islands).

How much are the shipping fees?

All shipping costs—both delivery and return—are fully included in the subscription price. Simple and transparent.

How do I cancel my Lil' Discoveries subscription?

In your customer account, go to My information, then Subscription management. To cancel your subscription permanently, click Unsubscribe definitely. Your next payment will be canceled. Your subscription officially ends once your PlayKit has been returned and received.
