Thank you to those of you who are interested in helping us out with Project Santa. I got to speak with the Child Life specialist who helps out with the kids in the dialysis unit. Her name is Deb and she was able to help me with some information that we need to help us with this great cause.
Rules for Project Santa:
#1 All of the toys have to be brand new
#2 All toys have to have a minimal amount of cloth on them. All toys have to be
able to be wiped down with a sani cloth for germ reasons
#3 All gifts have to be left unwrapped
That's it. Deb didn't give me any specific ideas, but I will try to come up with some that I think would be good gifts for a child/teen. Please use your own imaginations with what you choose as well. Don't feel that you have to stick to my ideas. Also keep in mind that there are kids of all ages here at the hospital. We can't forget about the teens that are here as well.
My ideas:
Coloring Books and Crayons
Any of the Crayola products
Dolls
Cars and Trucks
Board Games
Arts and Craft supplies (beads, etc)
Legos
Puzzles
Play Doh
DVD's
Magazines
The list could go on and on. We would like to have all of the gifts in by Monday, December 14th so that I have time to get them over to Children's and that gives the fantastic Child Life Department to get them wrapped and to the children before Christmas.
We're still working on where you can send the gifts. As soon as I figure this out I will let you all know.
Again, we thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for doing this with us. Christmas is a time of giving and what's better than helping the children that will be in the hospital during the holidays?

Good point about the teens.
