Giving Tree

As we lead up to the holiday period and give thanks for all we have, we would like to encourage the children to take a moment to think beyond themselves and donate one of their own pre-loved toys to the local charity, Toys from the Heart. Toys from the Heart provides toys to needy children in Singapore for their birthdays, various cultural festivals and at their annual toy buffet. 

From the 1st December until the 9th December, we will be asking children to donate one of their own pre-loved toys (in good quality and clean condition to this project). It is important that it is something the children already have and not something they go out to purchase from the shops.

Your child can bring it into the class where we will wrap it in clear cellophane with a small card of good wishes. It will then be taken down to the Giving Tree in the Infant School foyer. 

Suggested items for children aged 5-13 years old include:

Board Games: Monopoly, Scrabble, UNO 

Games Set: Scrabble, Chess, Mastermind, Uno Stacko, Bananagrams, 

Educational Toys: Educational Science Set, Telescope, Binocular, Excavating Set, 

Experimental Set 

Building: Lego Sets, Model plane, Model Building Set 

Creativity Sets: Necklace Maker, Sticker Marker, Cupcake marker, Ice cream marker, 

Sports: Soccer Ball, Basket Ball, Badminton Rackets, Skateboard 

Dolls / Robots: Barbies Doll, Transformers, Star Wars, Gundam 

Small wooden toys: Any good quality wooden toys 

Please note that they do not take soft toys. The Toys from the Heart organisation will be coming to pick up the toys in the last week of school before the holidays. Please note that this is an entirely optional opportunity, but we are hoping that children will be happy to donate one of their toys to help a needy child this holiday season.
