What is Lilypad?

Lilypad is a non-profit, volunteer-organized playspace, thrift store and community supporting families. Our goal is to create access to affordable play and sustainable options for your growing babies and kids.

Our offerings:

  • All playgroups are free for first-time visitors. Playgroups are for YOU! Take your shoes off, enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the children explore. Stop in at any point during playgroup and stay for as long or as little as you like.

    Once our all ages playspace on East Passyunk opens, we will offer ALL AGES groups for 0-4 and BABY groups for ages 0-24m year-round. Lilypad On Lombard offers BABY groups for 0-18 months Mondays and Thursdays until end of January 2026.

  • Lilypad Thrift is open at 1841 East Passyunk Ave. Head to our schedule page for hours. The shop sells items from post-partum and beyond including clothing, accessories, toys, games, gear and more for kids up to age 12!

    We also sell a small selection online with in-person pickups. As a very small organization shipping is not currently offered.

    All inventory is donated by our community!

  • Two times a year we host a large pop-up consignment sale at Old Pine Community Center. This differs from our thrift store as all product comes from nearly 100 local parents selling their items. These are 2-day events and are super fun to shop and volunteer at!

    Dates of sales will be announced a few months ahead of each sale. Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates.
