Toys to Avoid
Old or Used Items
We can only accept new toys.
Stuffed Animals
We cannot accept stuffed animals because we cannot clean them, and they can harbor fungus.
Toy Guns
Hospitals will not allow toy guns (Nerf Guns, Super Soakers, etc.) on-site.
Toys Focused on Hair
We cannot accept hair accessories and dolls focused on hairstyling since some children may have lost their hair from chemotherapy, and we want to be sensitive to this.
