"From their favorite bunny rabbit to the plush teddy bear they play with once a year, many children have a collection of stuffed animals they display with pride. But these beloved toys—even ones that sit on the shelf waiting to be played with—can quickly build up with dust, dirt, germs, and dander. Not only can allergens and germs be potentially harmful to your child, but dirtiness can also degrade the overall longevity of their treasured keepsakes. Keep their stuffed animals looking as beautiful as the day you got them with these cleaning tips for washing in the machine or by hand. "

Where to Donate #StuffedAnimals, #ActionFigures, and Other #Toys

Instead of tossing your kids' old playthings, donate gently used items to one of these organizations.

"If you find yourself overrun by stuffed animals, outgrown toys, never-opened games, and like-new books, it's time to donate items to a charity. And in most cases, it's easy to find a great home for your gently used items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I donate items that need repair?

Some organizations can take goods in any condition and repair or clean as needed; others require only items in like-new condition. Repair stuffed animals before donating them, make sure toys and puzzles have all their pieces, and clean plastic toys when possible.

How do I wash stuffed animals before donating them?

Most stuffed animals can be washed in the washing machine; put them in a pillowcase or delicates bag for extra protection. If the label dictates hand washing, remove the stuffing before washing the outside of the stuffed animal.

How do I wash plastic toys?

Most small plastic toys (including loose Legos) can be washed in the washing machine or dishwasher; larger items can be wiped with disinfecting wipes or washed with warm water and a gentle soap.

What’s the best way to donate stuffed animals if I don’t have a local drop-off spot?

If you haven't had any luck contacting local organizations about donations, consider calling 211, a national number dedicated to essential community services. They can connect you with social service organizations to ask about specific donations. This service is run by United Way in most regions, in collaboration with local nonprofits and other public agencies."
