If you are planning a party for children who are getting a little older, and have stuffed animals they are no longer attached to, a great idea is a Garanimals stuffed animal theme party! With a party of this sort, each guest can be asked to bring a stuffed animal that is still clean and in good repair to donate to the cause. This kind of party will be a great celebration with a twist.

Each year thousands of children are in a situation in which they find themselves scared and alone with caregivers they don't know. Whether it is in a situation where there has been an automobile accident, a legal situation, or even fostercare, it is terrifying for a child to find themselves alone with people they don't know. Law enforcement officers, ambulance drivers, social workers, and other officials find themselves in these situations all the time.

Consider planning a party that embraces the gift of giving by allowing children to donate their own stuffed animals to law enforcement officers, so they can give those to children in such circumstances. By doing this, you are teaching charity and concern for others while allowing the party to commence. You might even want to make arrangements with a police officer to come and pick up the toys your child and guests donate. Maybe you can arrange for them to get a look at the police car, and have the officer declare each child "Hero for a Day" and give him certificates or blue ribbons to hand out to each child, for a garanimals stuffed animal party to please one and all.
