We will take new or 'gently-used' battery-operated toys and will have volunteers (which can also be YOU) adapt and wrap these toys so that children with disabilities can use a switch to activate the toys. These toys are given at no charge to children with disabilities in our community.

If you are interested in donating a new or ‘gently-used’ battery operated toy that LCP can adapt, please look at the following suggestions:

Plush Toys: Tickle-Me-Elmo, dolls that talk or sing.

What to look for: One or two switches (such as an on/off switch, or a switch in the hand, foot or belly that you need to squeeze)

What to avoid: Multiple switches or buttons to activate, since we can adapt only one or two switches.

Action Figures: Spiderman, Power Rangers, Robots

What to look for: One or two switches (such as an on/off switch or a pushbutton)

What to avoid: Multiple switches or buttons to activate, since we can adapt only one or two switches.

Motor Vehicles: Remote Control (R/C) Race Cars, Matchbox trucks, Airplanes/helicopters

What to look for: If remote controlled, ones with only forward/reverse controls, not left/right too. What to avoid: Four-directional controls or multiple switches to activate, since we can adapt only one or two switches. If not remote controlled, then ones that move too fast (since there will be a cable attached).

Musical Toys: Crib toys, Sesame Street musical toys

What to look for: One or two switches (such as an on/off switch or a pushbutton)

What to avoid: Multiple switches or buttons to activate, since we can adapt only one or two switches. Also, keyboards, guitars and other multi -key instruments.
