Toy for Life
We believe every child should have the opportunity to discover the power of play.
Toy for Life is an energising and compelling programme that will empower your teams as they build a wooden toy for underprivileged children in care, through our charity partners.
How does the session run?
After a compelling keynote that we co-author with you, linking it directly to your own organisational and strategic goals, our team deliver toy kits to delegate tables. They’ll need to problem solve, coordinate, strategise, and focus on the end goal if they are to succeed in building a robust wooden toy.
- Instructions & equipment provided.
- Takes 30-40 minutes to build a classic wooden toy.
- Suitable for events of all sizes.
- *Wooden toy kits billed separately.
What will your team take away?
The Toy for Life team building activity brings teams literally and figuratively together to provide a fun, anchoring experience.
- Reinforces team collaboration.
- Realisation of how fortunate they are.
- A sense of purpose and determination in overcoming obstacles.
- The ability to problem solve and focus on an end goal.
Why Toy for Life?
At Lightbulb weβve been struck by the ingenuity of children as they turn trash into toys that inspire their imagination and creativity. Torn plastic bags become footballs, cardboard boxes become cars and trucks, coat hangers and sticks become vehicles, but theyβre neither safe nor durable.
But with Toy for Life, your teams can create, from scratch, toys that will last a lifetime.
How will your team feel?
With Toy for Life, your team brings the power of play to young people across the world that you haven’t even met yet.
Within a matter of weeks, the toys are quality checked and shipped to our charity partners who will organise distribution across schools and children’s hospitals in Uganda, Cambodia and India.
We believe this rewarding team building challenge will stay with your organisation for years to come, while making a real difference and putting smiles on faces of kids in need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Toy for Life questions
Each toy kit includes all the components needed to assemble one beautiful wooden toy, along with the necessary tools for construction. It also comes with a canvas tote bag that the toys will travel in for delegates to personalise.
To support your build session, we provide step-by-step instructions on the day, with supporting videos.
A typical team of 3 people can complete the toy build in approximately 45 minutes. Timings can vary depending on the group size and ability. However, a full session including warm up, energisers and de-brief is typically 60-90 minutes.
Teams can let their creativity run wild, decorating the recycled canvas carry tote. The toy itself can also be laser-engraved with the company logo, theme of the event, or any other particulars that your event planners would like. Let our team know when you’re booking your team build, and we can advise on the additional fee.
We work with charity partners to distribute toys to underprivileged children around the world. Distribution locations are decided upon according to need at that moment, and we will advise closer to the time.
Distributions happen a number of times per year and typically occur within 12-16 weeks of your team build. However, this may vary depending on the time required for quality checks, freight forwarding space and rates.
