Well, there are lots of ways you can get toys without having to pay for them.<\/p>\n

In this post, I\u2019ll cover some really easy tips on how to get toys for free near you<\/a> and online.<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ll also cover some ways to save money when you do have to buy them.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get started on the list.<\/p>\n

Ways to Get Free Toys<\/span><\/h2>\n

As with any other way of getting freebies, some of these ways to get free toys may take a bit more legwork than others. Either way, using these options, you\u2019ll get toys at no cost to you.<\/p>\n

Once you get them, you can give \u2019em to your own kids or kids of family and friends. If you don\u2019t have any kids around you, you can always giveaway toys especially during the holidays either directly or through programs like Toys for Tots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are ways you can get totally free toys.<\/p>\n

1. Become a toy tester<\/span><\/h3>\n

You may be able to get toys for your child to test out for free.<\/p>\n

It sounds too good to be true, but testing out toys is totally possible.<\/p>\n

Many toy companies hire kids to be toy testers. They send your child a toy to review, and in exchange for this review, you get to keep the toy.<\/p>\n

There are a few ways to find toy testing work:<\/p>\n

Follow toy manufacturers on social media<\/span><\/h4>\n

Follow toy companies big and small on social media. Often, companies post on their social media profiles that they\u2019re looking for kids to test toys.<\/p>\n

A few top brands you should follow are:<\/p>\n

Sign up for newsletters<\/span><\/h4>\n

Most toy manufacturers send out weekly\/monthly newsletter where they give subscribers the latest news as well as exclusive discounts and promo codes. Some will also send you sample toys in the mail for free so you can test out and give feedback.<\/p>\n

Here are a few newsletters you can sign up for free:<\/p>\n

Get an online presence<\/span><\/h4>\n

A lot of people get product recommendations from blogs and social media.<\/p>\n

And companies want to use that to market their products.<\/p>\n

So, if a toy company sees that you have an active online presence and a large following, it\u2019s more likely to send you toys to review.<\/p>\n

You should set up a blog, YouTube channel and social media accounts if you don\u2019t have them already.<\/p>\n

The bigger the online reach you have, the more likely you are to be selected as a toy tester.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good idea to review the toys you already have and post your reviews to your blog. You can then use your blog as a portfolio to show companies that you can write good reviews and are able to thoroughly review products.<\/p>\n

2. Email companies directly<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sometimes all you have to do is ask!<\/p>\n

Just email toy companies directly and ask about opportunities. You could email your contact information, as well as your child\u2019s name and interests to Fisher-Price, for example.<\/p>\n

Visit the website of your favorite toy companies to get their contact information.<\/p>\n
