Ada Mayat Diatas Kubah Masjid Nabawi? Inilah Faktanya
Local charitable organizations need toy donations again this holiday season. Watching a curly-locked tot's eyes sparkle when she cradles her new blanket-swaddled doll elicits Christmas joy like few other experiences.
The Salvation Army sets up a makeshift Christmas toy shop during December. Families in need may shop for free toys for their children. New toys are always in short supply for what volunteers see as a "magical shop."
Whether your favorite charity is the Helping Hand Mission, Goodwill, your city's Rescue Mission, The Salvation Army or a growing number of needful organizations, a list of toys requested by those who know the needs will help.
Suggestions for Toys That Charitable Organizations Often Request
Action Figures: Currently popular action figures are in high demand, but traditional heroes rank high on the list, too. You can't go wrong with G.I. Joe, Batman, Spiderman, Star Wars and Superman. Don't forget the Incredibles and Wonder Woman.
Hannah Montana still reigns. Taylor Swift is fast closing in. Products in many price ranges include guitars, wigs, microphones, lunch boxes and dress-up clothes.
Pretend toys such as tea sets, picnic items, pots and pans, cheerleader outfits, princess dresses and accessories need not be top-name brands. Children enjoy make-believe no matter the logo.

Games and puzzles: Classic games include Monopoly, Candy Land, Mr. Potato Head, Pick-up Sticks, Uno, Yahtzee and bags full newer ones just waiting find places under the tree.
Dora the Explorer still captures hearts of little girls.
Wrestling figures. Tough-and-tumble little boys love wrestling, no matter their age.
Cars, Hot Wheels, race car sets, trains: Little boys will stay busy long past their bedtimes if Santa brings these.
