Looking to Donate Something Else?
We also welcome donations of children’s books, educational materials, office equipment, tools, storage solutions, and museum-quality exhibit supplies. If you’re unsure whether an item would be helpful, we’d love to hear from you!
Thank you for helping us create a place where children can explore, imagine, and discover through play. Every donation makes a difference.
Toys & Other Play Items
Lincoln Logs
Lincoln Logs connect our children to Vermont’s architectural heritage, allowing them to build the very log cabins that define our region's history. These classic sets foster spatial reasoning and fine motor skills through tactile, hands-on engineering. We are seeking these iconic timbers to help our "Little Builders" recreate the structures of the Northeast Kingdom through play.
Wooden Train Tracks & Accessories
Wooden train tracks invite young engineers to explore spatial reasoning and cause-and-effect through open-ended play. These durable sets foster cooperation while honoring the deep railroad history of our Northeast Kingdom towns. We are seeking tracks and accessories to help children build the connections that keep our Kingdom moving.
