Wish List

Toys and games help to enhance a child's hospital stay. Play is a child's work, and children who are hospitalized use play activities as an outlet for their feelings and to help them feel more normal during their stay. Toys and games also provide enjoyment for children using the playroom, as well as for celebrating birthdays and holidays.
