Toy stores run by children and grown-ups
From a pretend store to running a real one
Loopyty makes reusing toys child's play: the children tidy up, take photos, design their store and save towards a goal of their own. Parents keep an eye on it all.
Loopyty is where circular toy commerce is personal, joyful, and planet-friendly.

How children can run the store
The store is theirs, and they are the boss. You are the assistant in the back room – and you hold the account.
They design the store
On their own, with siblings, friends or a class.
They take the photos
Two pictures, then they check what we write.
Together you ship it
Make the toy clean, snug and safe for the journey.
The money comes in
To your account, towards their savings goal.
No haggling
The seller sets one price or a price range. No bids, no bargaining, just buy it.
No messages
Nobody can send messages on Loopyty. It is made safe and simple for busy parents.
