Over 500 wooden cars a year in several patterns and sizes are created by our woodworkers. They are boxed up and stored until our next doll cradle project is completed in November.

On the Leisure World Post 12/05/18
My husband and I were just in a car wreck. A woman with a four year old boy in the back seat ran a red light. No one was badly hurt, just really shaken up. When the Mesa police came she checked to see if we were ok and then went to her car and pulled out a wooden toy car for the little boy. Suddenly that little boy wasn’t scared anymore and had a huge smile on his face as he hugged the car. The policewoman found out we live in Leisure World and asked me several times to let all of you know how much the police appreciate the toys that were donated. She said it really did help a lot of the children get through trauma. She said the boys were especially thrilled with the wooden toys. All of you that contributed are wonderful and thoughtful people.

Doll Cradle Project -
The woodshop workers create over 50 doll cradles each year. In November, the ladies of the Thursday Morning Quilters meet at the woodshop. It is a yearly tradition to assemble cradles with pads and pillows, and the dolls (donated by the woodshop) are wrapped in blankets and covered with beautiful little quilts.

Once the cradles are all boxed up, our donation is ready. The cradles and our wooden cars head to a holding area where they will join other donations from around the Phoenix Valley. In December they are distributed to local Police, Fire Departments and Social Health facilities

*Some of the Cradles and toy cars that we made last year have been donated to US Marine Corp Toys for Tots, also to the Mesa Police Department and a Home for Disadvantaged Girls and Boys. We thank our members who made this possible. We also owe a big thanks the LW Quilters Club who made the beautiful quilts and blankets for the cradles. You have made a lot of children smile!
