It’s always a good idea to donate used toys- whether you are teaching your kids to go Mari Kondo and keep only what brings them joy, or simply want to teach them the joys of giving.
It is important though to remember to keep the health of the recipient in mind before you unload your toys- try to give them a quick clean and ensure your stuffed animals are free from any bed bugs or mites.
