[Koha] Circulating non-specific items

[Caroline Cyr La Rose]

Hello everyone!

I need to pick the collective brain about a question I received from one 
of our libraries.

They are a toy/game library. For games and books, they circulate items 
normally. However, they have some toys in many copies and they don't 
need to or want to have a specific barcode for each copy of a particular 
toy. They gave me the example of dinosaur figurines. They have 60+ 
dinosaur figurines, but they don't need to know that *this exact* 
dinosaur figurine went home with this patron. They just need to know 
that *a* dinosaur figurine went home with this patron. They want to 
avoid having barcodes for each dinosaur.

Right now, they manage this in a spreadsheet, but would like to manage 
it in Koha with the rest of their inventory.

Do any of you have a similar situation? If so how do you manage those items?

Thank you so much!
