Toy Drive 2010

THANK YOU


for ALL your toy donations!


We had our annual Toy Drive hosted at the Summer For Kids Store on Saturday January 16th to collect new and used toys for children who are less fortunate in the Santa Barbara community.


The purpose of this toy drive was to remind children of the Santa Barbara community the principle of giving without receiving. For most children the holiday season means that new toys are on the way. After the holiday season the new toys are put to use while the old ones are left unused. Summer For Kids’ intentions for this toy drive was to encourage children to participate and donate their old toys to children in need. These children then should receive a good feeling in their heart for donating their toys to children who are less fortunate.
The children who donated toys were able to participate in painting, coloring and playdough acivities & the entire Summer For Kids Store was 10% OFF.


*Thank you Clementine Art for the soy crayon & playdough donations!*


It was so much fun to see kids and parents come and donate their toys! All the toys donated this weekend will make such difference in other kiddos lives all around Santa Barbara!


The kids thoroughly enjoyed finger painting and the art they created will be hanging in the SFK store window this week for the community to view :)


Also we would like to remind the community that there is a toy drive every day at SFK and we are happy to take toy and clothing donations any day of the week because there are always families who need these items.

THANK YOU!

dr karp I myself have read these books and watched these dvds among other books and dvds. I can honestly say that Dr. Karp is an amazing teacher. The techniques taught in his dvd's and books truly help make our kids happy.
Dr. Karp's books and dvd's have helped me tremendously by making me understand how babies and toddlers brains work. I have seen the results of Dr. Karp's techniques on my own toddler.
Therefore I decided that Dr. Karp's books and dvd's belong at Summer For Kids the store that truly cares about children and their safety, well being, happiness and health.

All kids deserve to be the happiest on the block!
