In 2001 People Potential ran 3 toy designing workshops as part of a project coordinated by a German organisation, Foerdern durch Spielmittel - Spielzeug fuer behinderte Kinder e.V (Toys for Chilrden's Rehabilitation). This was called TIM (for Transfer of Innovative Methods)and was part of EU cluster Innovation Projects. This innovation led to a new one - making toys to be used and copied!

You2Toys means that you too can make the toys and you too can enjoy the toys, whether poor or rich, whether you have disabilities or not. So the You2Toys group which emerged from the workshops, meets weekly, designs, trials and hand-makes toys to help children play and learn. The vision of the group is to be inclusive and productive, helping others. The work is done on a not-for-profit basis.

‘You 2 Toys’ to projects and services that include children with disabilities

In many countries trained people for working with children are stretched for time and resources. Very often there are no teaching aids and interactive games for children. The aim of You2 Toys is to donate toys/games to Toy Libraries and Inclusive Playgroups in countries where toys are scarce. The funding for making and transporting these is through donations of time and work as well as the proceeds from sales of You2Toys crafts.
