We seek donations of toys children can use during Play Therapy — or items that allow them to safely act out and express what they are feeling or dealing with.

Please help by donating new or very gently used toys in the following categories:

Real-life and nurturing toys

Doll family, doll house, baby bottle, variety of puppets, animal families, cars, money, toy money, cash register, kitchen food, medical kit, phone, etc.

Acting-out, aggressive, scary toys

Bop bag, toy soldiers, guns (colored plastic ones – not real looking!), scary/aggressive puppets and animals (alligator, shark, etc), rubber knife, foam sword, handcuffs, etc.

Creative expression and emotional release

Craft materials, clay, musical instruments, magic wand, dress-up clothes, etc.

Additional supplies

We need arts & craft supplies & play clay for children whose parents attend our ESL language classes.
