TOYS and GAMES – A PRESCRIPTION
FOR RECOVERY!

Hospitalized children need toys and games because play is a child’s work. In a hospital, where children are separated from most of what is familiar, play and activities become valuable and safe outlets for feelings. Toys and games from our community friends will help keep the playrooms and waiting areas of The Children’s Hospital of New Jersey fun. They will also turn special occasions, such as birthdays and holidays, into happy celebrations. The Child Life Staff carefully selects appropriate personalized gifts for our children year-round. You and your group can help by following our guidelines.

Please Remember:

• Donations must be distributed by members of the Child Life Staff.
• We are only able to accept new toys.
• Toys should be sturdy. 
• No food items are permitted.
• Toy guns and war games are not permitted.
• Gifts must NOT be wrapped. 
• Please tag your gift with the donor’s name and address so that we can thank you!
• Please see below for appropriate gift ideas.
