The ladies in the paper

Scan from the Chislehurst Times newspaper

2 weeks ago, Green Owl Toys was honoured to donate a few toys to the Toy Appeal the Kentish Times newspaper is helping.  The toys will be added to the collection that is growing from generous readers who have been dropping off gifts for children in hospital over the festive period.  All toys donated will be handed over to children in Princess Royal University Hospital , Farnbourough, Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Queen mary’s in Sidcup and queen Elizabeth’s in Woolwich.

Green Owl Toys donated 3 toys to Toy Appeal:

1. Threadable Farm – beautiful wooden pieces in various animal farm shapes which can be threaded on a special string/shoelace. It creates imagination and play through the animals and the farmer while improving their hand-eye coordination and is brilliant for writing skills.

2. Stacking train - a wooden train with 2 carriages. The carriages carry 2 shapes either a ball or cube in different colours. Children will have hours of fun pretending being the conductor or passenger.

3. Opposite and Match – its a card game like memory but here you need to find the opposite card to make a pair. For example hot and cold. This is great for turn taking, memory and language development.

We hope the children enjoy the toys and create endless fun over the Christmas period.
