Anyone have any creative ideas on what to do with my kid's old stuffed animals?

Question

I want to get rid of them but don't know what to do with them or where to take them I hate to just throw them away

Answer 1

Freecycle them! It's a yahoo group! Check it out.

Answer 2

take them to goodwill or a nearby firestation...they could really use them for the underpriveledged kids, especially around christmas time.

Answer 3

donate them to a homeless shelter or good will or something.

Answer 4

I took a bunch to GoodWill.

Answer 5

Start a hobby to dress them and that will give them their own personality and then introduce them back to your child or children as a new stuffed animal. If you have an area or a room you can give them a position like at a small table with the stuffed toys sitting in chairs, like they are pushing a toy baby carriage, playing with other stuffed animals. I want to rescue old baby dolls that don't have any clothes on and clean them and dress them and give them to the little girls in our family as a new doll.

Answer 6

As I see it, you have two choices.

Option 1:  You can donate them.  Lots of hospitals and youth services centers take stuffed animals as donations.  You could also try the Red Cross and the Salvation Army as well.

Option 2:  You could also put them all on eBay and see who's buying.

I recommend Option 1.
