The Little Toy that Aren't |
The Topsy Foundation is an NGO that cares for orphaned and vulnerable children in rural Mpumalanga. There is often not enough money to put food on the table and keep the household going, let alone provide toys for the kids to play with. These circumstances are robbing them of the opportunity to develop some of the vital skills they’ll need later in life.
The Topsy Toy Project is trying to right this wrong. Kids in the communities where Topsy work end up playing with whatever junk they find lying around. Their makeshift robots, dolls, cars and fairy wands inspired our own range of toys – The Little Toys that Aren’t.Spree is available on mobile as well, and it is very easy adding one of these Little Toys that Aren't as a R20 donation on the site.
Through a partnership with Spree and Your Parenting, these bits and pieces are being virtually sold online as real toys. Shoppers are able to make a donation by “buying” one of ten different toys, with the full amount going straight to Topsy to stock their Toy Library.
Through the Topsy Toy Library, partnerships have been formed with twenty-three day care centres in the area, as well as a centre for physically disabled kids. With Topsy’s help, more than 1 400 children are now getting access to specialised educational toys and better-trained teachers. We’d like this campaign to also spark a bigger conversation about early childhood development and how important it is for parents, teachers and nannies to help kids learn through play.

"This season continues from where season two left off, with Violetta still trying to cope with life, love and her singing career.
Argentine Martina Stoessel is Violetta |
YouMix’s triumphant world tour draws to a close in Europe, and the students head back to Buenos Aires for their final year of classes. They have had a wonderful time, but now have new dreams and ambitions, as well as new challenges and obstacles to face. Some can fulfil their musical ambitions in the studio, while the dreams of others can be realized elsewhere. Meanwhile, as familiar characters return, there are also new people on the scene.
Violetta is very happy – at last she is able to work on her beloved music, and her relationship with Leon couldn’t be better. However Ludmila is still plotting and scheming, determined to take Violetta’s place in YouMix. Then Violetta’s life takes an unexpected turn when German falls in love with Priscila, a woman who will unknowingly turn Violetta and her family’s world upside down."

Mandy Cattanah, Senior Inspector and Manager of the SPCA: “On behalf of the Roodepoort SPCA, a very big thank you to the Walt Disney Company Africa for the donation of 25 kennels for our animals. Mahatma Ghandi said that ‘the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.’ With the assistance of Disney Junior Programmes like Doc McStuffins, we are more able to educate our children on the importance of pet care, which will go a long way to reducing the number of animals in distress.”
Watch Dr Colin van Rensburg of the Radiokop Animal Clinic share his top tips for kids in caring for their pets on Disney Junior Africa Facebook Page. Parents and care-givers can also log on to the brand new Disney Junior Africa Facebook page to keep up to date on the very latest from Doc McStuffins and Disney Junior.
From dogs to goats, Doc McStuffins can fix them all!

All Toy Kingdom stores nationally, offer toy ranges that are not stocked by other main stream toy retailers, such as HAPE, SYMA, JD Bug, Maui & Sons, Ballipo and Squigz and of course the firm favourites such as LEGO, Barbie, Hot Wheels and Star Wars figurines are streamlined across the shelves. The Magic Tree is also a much loved meeting point and can be found in most of the stores together with a stack of soft toys and activities close by.
“What sets us apart from other toys stores is our unrivaled offering of quality toys, beautifully laid out stores designed around the concept of play and friendly and knowledgeable staff,” says David Tredinnick, CEO of Toy Kingdom. “We are extremely excited to now have a footprint in Johannesburg and to be able to bring the unique Toy Kingdom experience to children and families there.”
