As I am sure many of you are aware of, Chief Wiggles has set up a toy drive for Iraqi kids.
Please, everyone! It wouldn't take that much time ... and think of the joy a simple jump-rope or some hopscotch-chalk would bring!
Here are the toys you should NOT send:
Any guns of any kind
No violent action hereos
No violent toys
No barbie dolls or dolls skantily dressed
No toys that shoot something, no projectiles
No water guns
Let's just keep it simple, simple toys, just the basics, these kids have nothing.
Some suggested toys that would be good to send:
Construction paper, markers (probably not crayons, because of the heat)
stuffed animals
bubbles
jump ropes
sidewalk chalk
matchbox cars
yo yos
frisbees
If you follow the link above, and read down through the Comments, a lot of people have great suggestions of culturally sensitive cool toys that would be good to send.
