Pre-loved toys. Brand-new adventures.
Saturday December 5th 2026
11am - 2pm
Farmington Main Library
6 Monteith Drive, Farmington, CT
A KIDS MARKET FOR PRE-LOVED TOYS
What Is RePlay?
Out with the old, in with the new-to-you! RePlay is a one-day, kid-powered market where gently loved toys and games find new homes just in time for the holidays.
For young entrepreneurs, it's a chance to clean out the playroom, turn outgrown toys into spending money, and experience the excitement of running their very own shop! Kids choose what to sell, set their prices, create their "shop", and learn a little about business along the way. Best of all, they keep everything they earn!
For shoppers, it's a treasure hunt filled with affordable, new-to-you finds! Discover toys and games, pick up thoughtful holiday gifts for family, siblings, and friends, or let your kids do a little holiday shopping with their own money.
Hosted by the Farmington Community Chest, RePlay is about giving great toys a second life, encouraging young entrepreneurs, and bringing families together for a little holiday fun while supporting our local community.

A Little Shopping Can Do a Lot of Good
