Question: I have tons of toys and clothes that I would like to donate to orphanages in Africa. How do I do this?

I have contacted numerous charities, but none are willing to accept items, only cash. I’ve even tried to find a direct address to an orphanage. I’m willing to pay to ship these things. I just can’t imagine so many children without toys or books while we have so much not even being used. Any ideas or leads would be great!

Q&A: What toys were important or popular during the 1960’s?

I am doing a project on an aspect of the 1960’s. I chose to do toys and how they are somewhat of an effect of history. So if anyone grew-up then could you please give me some information. Just things like what did you play with or what was popular. Early 1970’s toys could be helpful too. Thank You!

Q&A: what kind of toys are good for beagle pups?

i have a 10 week old beagle, and he has some toys he likes. He plays with all his toys and a pair of old shoes he plays with for hours a day. My husband and i play with him at least 8/10 hours a day and he sleeps with us at night. We even go for 3 walks a day, but this still doesn’t keep him content. I thought about getting another beagle, but i can’t have another one. Anyone have any suggestions about some good toys? I have him in a beagle rabbit club, where he is learning to hunt rabbits slowly.

Q&A: What are the requirements and benefits for a discovery toys consultant?

Hi. I have been seriously considering becoming a Discovery Toys consultant, but wanted to find out what requirements are for an active consultant and what type of benefits are available? I know the starter kit comes with a lot of toys, but do you get a discount on additional toys you purchase? What type of percentage do you get paid for your sales? Thanks in advance for your input.

Q&A: What toys and activities do you use to improve children’s gross and fine motor?

I especially want to hear from preschool and kindergarten teachers. My 6 year old first grader is homeschooled and is clumsy at sports (this soccer season is his first exposure to organized sports). He also writes his letters from the bottom up, a habit that makes for messy letters and is VERY difficult to break.
I also have a four year old who will be five in November, is in part time nursery school and will be in kindergarten next fall. He spends lots of time playing with tiny cars, crayons, and blocks, also tinker toys, lincoln logs and wooden train tracks are his favourites. Nevertheless, his writing is so big and scrawling that I’m concerned it will be “passable for kindergarten” by next fall! He can write a few letters, his own name, can copy shapes and cut with scissors OK.

Any toys or FUN activities I can expose him to to get him ready for kindergarten? I guess I’m a little skittish since his big brother had some serious fine motor and gross motor difficulties.

Question: Who believes recalled toys will be sent by Mattel and sold in other countries?

With soo many recalled defective and lead contaminated toys, isn’t it posible that they toy stores and manufacturers will just gather them up and send them to some other countries and harm their kids.
Some investigation should be taken into where this harmful toys finally end up.
