Toy Drive for Happy Play Therapy

About this event

Join us for a Toy Drive in collaboration with Minds Over Matter LLC , supporting Happy Play Therapy , a female veteran-owned pediatric practice providing speech, occupational, and physical therapy for children. Donors will receive 2 service hours for each donation made.

All donations will go directly to Happy Play Therapy, where play therapy is used to help children express emotions they may struggle to communicate verbally. Through play, kids are able to process feelings, build coping and regulation skills, and grow confidence in a safe, supportive environment. Your donation helps ensure children have access to the tools and resources they need to thrive.

We are accepting items that support sensory regulation, emotional development, creativity, movement, and comfort. Examples include (but are not limited to):

• Sensory and mindfulness toys (fidgets, weighted items, calming tools)

• Emotional regulation and coping supports (emotion charts, calming jars, books about feelings)

• Creative and play-based materials (playdough, kinetic sand, art supplies, sensory bins)

• Gross motor and movement tools (therapy balls, balance tools, resistance bands)

• Comfort and safe-space items (soft mats, bean bags, sensory lighting, cozy textures)

Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful impact on a child’s therapeutic journey.
