The idea for Tide Pool Play sprung as a necessary solution to the toy problem we found ourselves in as first-time parents. We were faced with the dilemma of wanting to provide our son with a wide range of playtime choices, while also being aware that most of the toys he had were destined for landfills. The turning point was the arrival of our second child - we had to make space for a new human and all her stuff. The cost, time required to reorganize and store toys that are purged at the end seemed wasteful. It was apparent that many other parents went through the same cycle of buying (or being gifted), storing, and purging. And so we started Tide Pool Play - a shared toy shelf to provide the variety and efficacy of a library with the added benefits of convenient delivery and returns.
