Educational Warehouse "Toy Trade-UP"

Help your own children as well as those in need by participating in Educational Warehouse's  Toy Trade-UP event, going on this weekend at the Spring Valley store.

To participate in this event, parents and caregivers may bring in one or more toys that meet the following criteria:

  • “Non-educational” toys and games
  • “Violent” toys and games (e.g. toy guns, action figures, war/combat games, violent video games)
  • Must be NEW or GENTLY USED (does not apply to “violent” toys, only applies to otherwise   non-educational donations)

For EACH toy brought in, participants will receive a coupon to save 20% on a new educational toy or game from Educational Warehouse.  All non-violent toys traded in will be donated to charity.  Educational Warehouse will donate a new, non-violent toy for each violent toy turned in.

 In light of the recent shooting in Tucson, Arizona, Educational Warehouse hopes this event will help increase parental awareness of the dangers associated with early exposure to violent toys and video games.
