Center is participating in this cause asking volunteers to make simple child development toys. These toys are designed to address a specific part of a child's development from birth to 36 months. Made from items found around the house, most of these toys are very simple in design, requiring more time than expertise to assemble. We are asking you to bring the items below to the center. Containers for the items will be located at both entrances. We need: spools, pill containers, blocks, magazines, catalogs, adult size socks, paint stirrers, cups & cans with plastic lids, sequins, little beads, 20 oz. plastic sport bottles, poker chips, marbles, small glass or plastic jars with screw on lids, empty cereal boxes, two liter soda bottles, sturdy shoe boxes, empty small or large facial tissue boxes, coffee cans.
