This morning I visited Lauren Vanden Heuvel, a Certified Child Life Specialist at HSHS St. Vincent Children's Hospital/Prevea Health, to drop off a case of our Activity Cars and some games and puzzles from our "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" program. Then our volunteer Bobbie, who does the packaging of crayons, took our broken crayons and melted them down and poured them in forms of little cars. So the kiddos now have crayons in the shape of little cars to use to color the cars. With Bobbie's help we took this project to the next level. Coloring cars with cars...now how cool is that!
All of us at Rick's Toybox, Inc. wish each one of the kiddos best wishes in their journey back to good health. I hope the added surprise for the special caregivers puts a smile on their faces also.
