Come and grab some toys to keep the kids entertained over the school holidays.
We have a variety of toys- outdoor, ride on, costume, puzzles, board games, role play, infant toys and more. Check out our range on our website northland.mibase.co.nz...

See you Saturday!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
