Toys are great to have on hand for playtime, but they've also got endless potential as motivators, prizes, cheer-up items, trade bait and more. Every organization from schools to doctors' offices to religious organizations uses toys. When toys are needed at high quantities, it is economical to buy them in bulk. It is possible to buy toys wholesale without memberships or fees; many manufacturers sell toys in large quantities.
