Sending toys abroad for DCs

5 replies

This is not a request for toys or money just ideas .

My DB is part of a charity group that would like to send some toys to the DCs in war torn Ukraine
The DCs age range from babies to approx 15 yrs .
They must not need batteries, or instructions ( most won't speak/ read English) and nothing that could be war related ( water pistol/ toy tanks / rockets et al ) .
Ideally things that dint have millions of bits that can get lost

So far we have thought of ;
Tennis /bouncy/ football
Skipping ropes
Jigsaw ( basic large piece ones )
Pull along trains / dogs
Colouring books & crayons
Bubbles
Lego
Dolls
Teddies

So mn hive mind what else can we send ?

Cars, trains, monster trucks, dinosaurs, superhero/marvel figures, Barbie’s, make up sets (toy sets for younger kids and proper make up for teen girls), hair bands/clips, art sets, cartoon character toys (such as peppa pig, Bluey etc), farm animal toys, universally understood board games, playing cards, musical instruments, nice stationary & note books, children’s backpacks, sensory toys, stickers, dress up costumes, play dough, kinetic sand.
Hopefully some useful suggestions there.
