The day is celebrated annually on May 28 to commemorate International Toy Library Association and is more of an attitude of connecting generations through play than a day of scheduled or planned events.

The event was organised by Sikhula Sonke organisation, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that provides quality early childhood development training and support to the parents, caregivers and pre-school teachers in the informal settlements of Khayelitsha.

At least 34 ECDs attended the event, with the City of Cape Town's library mascot LiBee engaging and playing with the children.
